just another entertainer who forgot that they exist to entertain us, not lecture us. and yes, i feel that way about every entertainer no matter their political preference.

And there was I thinking America had a long and proud tradition of protest singers. Woody Guthrie must be turning in his grave. Would you guys prefe rit if there had been no Dylan? Or would you just like to have had him declawed ?
Since when were Americans so afraid of political views? Since when did they compartmentalise politics away from entertainment and the arts? Life is political. Man is a political animal and so is a female singer. She was honest and true to herself as an artiste and as a human being. To percieve such a vast crime ( rightly or wrongly) and to allow that crime to go unmentioned when she has a platform would be negligence on her part. Keeping silent whilst crimes are committed in your name is in itself a crime to my mind.
To be silent about a crime you do not percieve is one thing, to stay silent when you believe these things to be true is unforgivable.
