>>Vince Gill urged the audience at Wednesday night's show to "Stop it, stop it." He added: "You know who gets blessed when you forgive — you." <<

I can't understand this. I always liked Vince Gill. But here he adopts the elitist, "parental" tone that the libs always have, like they know what's best and nobody else does.

Strange.

Vince sang a duet with Babs a couple years, which was bad enough, but even worse was that in the video it looked pretty much like a lovefest where she was clinging all over him and they were smiling like lovers at one another. Of course that's not really proof of anything but it just left me with a sneaking suspicion that he might lean a little to the left or at least has a "let's just all get along" type of philosophy - which comes off making a fellow look and sound awfully nice (and not like the stereotypical mean-spirited, conservative country hick) but which often leaves one with no firm foundation on which to take a stand.

Therefore wasn't really surprised to see him bend over backwards to try to take the "let's get along" high road while lecturing to the unenlightened in the audience, and, essentially, while trying to make himself appear a wise and benevolent peacemaker.

Additionally it might also have had a dual purpose and was aimed partially at those (probably many of the same booers) who had never totally forgiven him for divorcing his first wife.
