Steven Van Zandt of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, took to Twitter all day Saturday (Nov. 19) calling on the cast of Hamilton to apologize to Vice President-elect Mike Pence for their speech following Friday's performance.
"A guy comes to a Broadway show for a relaxing night out. Instead he gets a lecture from the stage! Not a level playing field. It's bullying," he wrote. "You don't single out an audience member and embarrass him from the stage. A terrible precedent to set."(continued)

Shut up and sing.
I would rather they sing to an empty house or were in the unemployment lines.
It would be sweet if that happened.
Haters gotta hate. Won’t be no apology.
We don’t need his help/pity and from any celebritard. Our side can punish those clowns on our own.
What is good here is that Van Zandt is one of the left’s own. I’m sure he despises Trump/Pence but I applaud him for what he said about the Hamilton incident.
He has a very good point.
Terrible precedent???
Its in the DNA of the post-modern, cultural Marxists to insert politics into everything - art, music, theater, religion, sports, etc...
Its been happening for the last 60 years. This guy is only noticing it now???
The cast and management of Hamilton has established the precedent. Until/unless they apologize, they should be addressed from the audience with demands that they shape up or face continued criticism from the audience. The rats had demonstrators who tried to disrupt some of Trump’s rallies one after another. The same techniques could be used by conservatives show after show.
When Judaism demanded that all sexual activity be channeled into marriage, it changed the world. The Torah’s prohibition of non-marital sex quite simply made the creation of Western civilization possible.
Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development.
The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity.

Here’s some of what he wrote, from the link;
“.Nobody on this planet disagrees more with everything Pence represents.”
“Please don’t misunderstand. Everyone who is sane disagrees with his policies.”
I agree. 100%. Face the backlash of your ignorance. Feelings are not truth. Trurh is truth
Fake news lovers. Fake news breeders.
Don’t applaud. He’s one of the punks that cancelled a concert in NC to make a political statement on forcing women and children to share a bathroom with men.

“This really vile and evil discrimination is starting to spread state to state and we thought, ‘We better take a stand right now and catch it early,’” guitarist says of “bathroom bill”
Little Steven gets it. As on his XM Radio channel, people from all political views can share a common appreciation for music and art. Note that our side doesn’t go out of its way to lecture them, it always is one-way. Bravo to him for pointing it out.
I applaud anyway.
He’s a lefty. I pointed that out the first time. That gives his dissent all the more weight.
Sold all my bruce stuff for $15.00.
That’s all he’s worth.
Standing ovation for Steven Van Zandt!!
