it doesn't sound like a riot to me. sounds more like a few drunken idiots who found an excuse to act out. i've seen one or two of those in vegas, myself.


i wasn't saying that entertainers give up the right to speak their minds. if i go to a musical concert, i pretty much just want to see the show, hear the songs, that type of thing. if i go see a comedian, i expect to hear political ranting. anyway - they have the right to say what they want, it is their stage. i just hate hearing some of them turn around and cry when people respond by boycotting their projects. it is not censorship when your marketability suffers because of your politics, no matter what Martin Sheen, Robbins, or any of the others think.

Just like the Dixie Chix - that whole thing was overblown and stupid, but really. if you make your very comfortable living off country music fans, who for the most part are red, white, and blue wearing, right leaning, self-described patriots who support the president - don't be surprised when people quit buying your tickets and cd's for a short period of time after you insult the man.
