Totally off-topic but I am infamous in our town because I told “Chad and Jeremy” to shut up and sing at one of their concerts.
It was right before the 2012 election. I took my mom to see C&J as part of a concert series that was being put on by a friend of mine.
C&J started out a bit uneven and didn’t seem particularly focused but (what the hey!) we’re all getting that way to one degree or another. And then one of them started in on politics and how important it was NOT to elect this monster Romney. I was taken aback but, again I cut him some slack.
But he droned on and on and slobbered over Øbozo and finally I said (in a ever so slightly raised voice, “Shut up and sing!”
I got a few claps of applause and then the lefties started in tsk-tsking and whining. But I stopped the bass turd in mid-sentence and completely flummoxed him. They resumed the show but I could tell by his mistakes that I had gotten under his skin.
My mom and I made a point of getting up and leaving early and, once outside I apologized to her for embarrassing her. She brushed it off and said, “They were the embarrassing ones”.
Good for you. Nice action on your part.
I remember hearing that Madonna pulled this crap at a concert of hers before the 2012 election.
Madonna was urging everyone to vote, but then she said, they better f***n vote for Obama.
Nice public service announcement from Madonna. (sarcasm). Nice that she added profanity to her exhortation to her audience to vote.
Why do liberal performers do this?? Do they really think that all of their fans are liberal??? Do they care if they alienate fans over mere political differences????
