I also wouldn’t want to be lectured like that. We recall Laura Ingraham’s “Shut Up and Sing” comment (which the Dixie Chicks later moaned about)
Of course some artists have political songs which can delight—or piss off—their fanbase. Songs, not long winded speeches, and perhaps those will pop up in shows.
Give Ireland Back To The Irish
The Ugly American (Courtesy of the Red White and Blue)
In America (Charlie Daniels)
Ignoreland (REM; anti-Bush—”How to walk in dignity with throw up on your shoes...Someone’s got to take the blame
I know that this is vitriol
No solution, spleen-venting
But I feel better having screamed
Don’t you?”)
Vast majority of these songs lean left.
Really?
