cosmosis Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 For once, I agree with Mathews: "A vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, paranoid America." The lineup is just missing John Lennon and the Dead Kennedys.
cosmosis Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 ALRIGHT!!! Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band/ R.E.M./ John Fogerty/ Bright Eyes: 10/8 - Orlando, FL
scott Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I would do anything to see that show, first off Springsteen is an amazing performer, and plus R.E.M. is my favorite band that's still makin' music.
DiggsUK Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Should the opinions of the rich and egocentric be valid in an election campaign though? IMO the only musician with a political opinion of any relevance or value is Billy Bragg (you Brits will know what I mean). Regards
scott Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I think that Springsteen is a great role model myself, he was a 'Jersey kinda guy' (the Americans will know what I mean : and even though he is now insanely rich, he's still pretty down to earth. Same can be said for Stipe.
cosmosis Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I make my own opinions. I'm going for the music and the booze. Oh, and I don't vote. I heard Britney Spears totally and blindly trusts Bush. Maybe she should get her own thang started too.
DiggsUK Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 I'm not saying these people didn't come from humble roots, just that being very rich allows somebody values the rest of us can't afford. Regards
scott Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 Yeah, well Cosmosis, that snide little Brittney remark is pretty undeserving, 'cuz didn't you hear a really respected musician is supporting Bush too ........................................................................................ ...................................................................................... Jessica Simpson
cosmosis Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 OMG. She's like, so dumb or whatever and like she's like proud of it and stuff or whatever.
scott Posted August 5, 2004 Report Posted August 5, 2004 Wait, so is Bush like a plant, or is it like a person, 'cuz it's like so confusing, like chicken of the sea.
Jillianne Posted August 5, 2004 Report Posted August 5, 2004 :laughing:yeah, isnt Bush like some form of a platy-ma-pus?
XXX Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 I tend to think that artists and entertainers have liberal values just because of their unconventional line of work, so I take for granted whatever political belief they have. I'm not swayed one way or the other by their views, but if they concur with mine, then more power to them
TheCyberdemon Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 A vote for Kerry, is a vote for communism.
cosmosis Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Wasn't 'The Patriot Act' Bush's big idea?
XXX Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 It was mainly Ashcroft's. Didn't Kerry also approve of Teh Patriot Act... as with most of the Senate and the House?
Aunt_Acid Posted October 5, 2004 Report Posted October 5, 2004 Kerry has approved everything. He has also dissapproved everything.
XXX Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 If you choose not to decide, you've still made a choice
nobody_home Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I think it's fine that some of these entertainers (I won't call Jessica Simpson a musician) encourage people to vote, but if they want to preach their political views, then write a freakin' song about it. Of course, everybody knows none of these people can make a difference in the world. I don't think any of these undecided voters (there's not many of them out there) are going to swing towards Kerry or Bush just because the Boss, Boss-wanna-be, or some other celeb told them to. Politics and music don't mix. If they really want to make a difference, quit the music biz and get a respectable career in politics . Oh, and if anybody can afford to go to this concert, they must be a republican. I never understood that about the Boss. He claims to be the common blue-collar working man, and the common blue-collar working man can't afford to go to his concerts!
cosmosis Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 If you choose not to decide, you've still made a choice Hey, that belongs on that 'Favorite single line from a song' thread :guitar:
TheCyberdemon Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 People who rely on musicians or celebreties to tell them how to vote, need to be lynched.
scott Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Ummmm anyone who would vote for a candidate based solely on a celebreties opinion, is an undisputed 'waffletard'. Though there's nothing wrong with someone voiceing their opinion through their art, people can listen to it and take it to their heart, and think about it. I mean, what better encourages thought than music?(unless of course you listen to Metallica(Napster BAD!)) And shouldn't politics be something that you should think about? It's not like these artists are making their own political views, they're writing and performing about the views that they support not that they 'made'.
TheCyberdemon Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I have no problem with celberities supporting people voting, but when they push their ideals on me (like the dirty pinkos on the latest Rolling Stones)is when they need to have a chainsaw taken to their mouths.
