And a fun time was had by all.

Joe Henry? I remember when he used to be good.

Did anyone see the Alice Cooper (KISS) interview last night? He wanted to kill the families too!

[SP67]

Now all he has to do is apologize to us Southerners for his slurs against the South in some of his lyrics.

Neil Young & Dave Mathews of DMB have both done fundraisers for Planned Parenthood.

There was a deep frost in hell last night.

Young is the same musician who criticized Bush Sr. in a song..."We have a thousand points of light for a homeless man... We have a kinder, gentler machine gun hand."

``Never let America forget that these are our rights and we can get them back,''

Famous last words!!

Note that I am not commenting on the premise, but the conclusion...

[eureka!]

LOL. Good on Neil and Trey Parker. PFTAW is a leftist anti-American outfit. Nice to see them get a little at their own little party....

[11th Earl of Mar]

Alice Cooper is not from KISS. Was it Alice Cooper or Gene Simmons?

I heard Alice Cooper has become a Christian and is teaching Sunday School in Arizona.

``South Park'' creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker; ... Parker, dressed in a garish stars-and-stripes suit, had his own surprise. He declared that he and Stone were proud Republicans. ``It's true,'' he added, apparently earnestly, as the audience wondered if the wacky comic was just joking.

FYI.

I wish I could see the look on the audience face as the realized that the maybe, possibly, could be in the presence of the dreaded ... REPUBLICAN!

Don't you mean Gene Simmons? He was on O'Reilly. He did not say he wanted to kill the families. He basically said if the families were killed because they were with the terrorists, that's life. And that is.

People for the American Way, a free-speech advocacy group formed 20 years ago to combat the so-called ``religious right,''

That's interesting. A right-wing journalist makes a dig at PFTAW? Normally, you wouldn't see 'so-called' and "" around religious right.

Neil is tough to peg. He was "notoriously" pro-Reagan in the early 80's, and also made some unsympathetic AIDS remarks. He was duly slapped down hard by the PC police, and "saw the error of his ways." The Rolling Stone/Hollywood music establishment has never tolerated any dissent from it's subjects.

A de facto blacklist also exists in the British music scene: Any expression of support for Thatcher or Tories will effectively kill your career, thanks to the powerful music press over there.

"Don't you mean Gene Simmons? "

Yeah, Yeah. Gene Simmons. Geez....I'm getting old. Sorry.

[BOBTHENAILER]

"I hope Neil Young will remember, Southern Man don't need him around anyhow"

[johnny7]

I liked Neil Young

“Cinbamon Girl” was his best. I also liked “Hey, hey bye bye”.

The story of Johnny Rotten.

Damn, I'm gettin old... what song was that from?

[Helms]

Neil is god, Crazy horse is his Choir.

Keep rockin in the free world!!!

[Benrand]

People for the American Way a "free speech advocacy group"??? Sure...riiiiight...

[Britton J Wingfield]

That was Gene Simmons.

[KLT]

Always knew he had,"A Heart Of Gold."
