I like Lt. Dan. He's a good guy, at least the way He treats the troops. I sure hope he brings his magic legs!

I don't really like television, but I will watch music videos occasionally.

But I've stopped watching MTV, and I switched over to Country music television. (CMT)

Country music is more about talent and less about sex appeal.

What no Sheryl Crow, no Pearl Jam, no Bruce?

Oh yeah, that's right they only perform if it benefits them in someway.

They are the biggest hypocrites of all. If they were so "open minded" they would donate there time because it is a worthy cause and set their political differences aside.
But just like all liberals everything they do, is done to serve themselves.

"What no Sheryl Crow, no Pearl Jam, no Bruce?"

It's billed as a Country Music Show. I'm sure none of the above were asked to participate. As for Pearl Jam, I don't think they'd quite fit in at Disney World, which is where the event is taking place. :)

Sheryl Crow has done a couple of USO events. I couldn't find anything on the other two. Although Kid Rock did bash Springteen for not going over to play for the troops.
