One thing that always amazes me is how people will enjoy movies or whatever, then turn on the actors who gave them so much pleasure. "Drunkard!" "Monster..."

Sure, I wouldn't like to see Barbra in concert because I'm not into the politics (this is why I stopped spending a fortune for CSNY tickets when they came around,) but I agree with you that we seem to be awfully cruel when it comes to entertainers.

Michael Jackson is an example. What a sad fellow, and so lonely. Eaten alive in the end.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

There are at least two interesting schizoid Freepers, by the way, who say they are very powerful in show-business. Some even have a number of FR handles to their singular identities, (the two of whom I speak are at least four handles,)and they invariably agree with themselves on these and other issues.

I wonder what they have to say with us and with themselves on this issue? They all seem to "know everyone."

Benny and Joon is a pretty good movie which deals with Schizophrenia starring Johnny Depp. YMMV

John Travolta is in that category. There are others - extremely good actors whose politics I just disagree with.

The point to good entertainment is the suspension of disbelief in pursuit of temporary escape.

I really don’t care who’s delivering the transportation, as long as I get out and back in one piece.
