No, this is exactly on subject. You're right about musicians siding with our enemies for shock value. I see young bands alot, and virtually ALL of them ridicule the war effort and Bush. The only genre that accepts patriotism is country music, the rest are spoiled angry liberals.

For instance, Paul McCartney and Neil Young "dared" to release songs supporting the war on terror, and rock radio blasted them for it. My lefty buddies have sworn off their music forever , as punishment for stepping outside of the mainstream anti-GOP sentiment.

It appears that 9/11 is a taboo subject for all the Arts except country music.

My husband plays in a British-style brass band. Even they are mostly liberal (and ignorant, I might add).

Neil Young as always been one of my favorite musicians/songwriters, so I'm happy (athough not exactly surprised) that he's taken that stance. The bands and individual acts I like invariably just shut up and sing (and play) or take pro-American positions.

But being a musician myself, I come across many of the types you describe.
