It's hard for me to have an opinion on this one b/c I dislike Bush but I also dislike Streisand. What am i to do?CyberLaw said:So much class once again for the "pro Bush" supporters.
I dont think "pro bush people" act like bullies. Maybe they think she is should just Shut up and Sing.CyberLaw said:Considering what happened to the "Dixie Chicks", I am not surprised that pro Bush people act like a bunch of "Bush" bullies.
What about those of us who would like to see Barbra perform? When I pay that kind of money for ENTERTAINMENT, I am not paying to hear anyone's political viewpoints, I am paying for entertainment. I would have loved to see her perform, she has a beautiful voice and is a great talent (in my opinion) but seriously, if I want to hear about politics, I would chose to go to a political rally. You are right that people can choose not to see in her concert, I wouldn't and it isn't because of her viewpoints but at 500$ a ticket, she in fact should respect that HER concerts are financed directly by people of all viewpoints. I am not defending the person throwing a drink on her, that is wrong. I think the best way to let an entertainer "know" what we think of their behavior is buy not purchasing what they're "selling"...CyberLaw said:If you don't like Babs and don't agree with her political position, may I suggest that you don't go to her concerts.
It is not like it a "surprise" when the "skit" about Bush is played out in every concert venue. Maybe the pro Bush people should think about that if they attend the concert, the concert that they bought tickets for.
They can always leave.......or not buy tickets, or shut up. I would think that most people know that Babs is a "Liberal" and that she is not a fan of Bush and that she has enough "draw" after 12 years of not performing to do what ever she wants at HER concerts.
it is akin to me going to a pro Bush rally, and then "throwing" a drink a a person performing an anti Dem skit. I know what I am in for before I go.......no surprises.
Considering what happened to the "Dixie Chicks", I am not surprised that pro Bush people act like a bunch of "Bush" bullies.
I agree. People pay to hear her sing, just like the chicks. I love their music. I dont want to hear their political views.Boyz_Mum said:What about those of us who would like to see Barbra perform?

Exactly, I feel the same way. I can get online and find whatever I want. I dont need someone preaching it too me.Beyond Belief said:I really enjoy Barbara's music and films. I certainly am not interested in anyones political views at all. The band beaters for religion and politics are pretty much in the same categorie to me. After all anything you want to know is on the web. LOL
