'If the promoters were doing this correctly, they'd have Duran Duran, Billy Idol and Wang Chung play at this concert.'

I think these guys are smart enough to avoid this sort of thing...at least two of the aforementioned (Duran Duran and Billy Idol) have released new albums within the past year and were currently touring. The last thing I think they want is a Linda Ronstadt type backlash. I believe her latest album may have flopped due to her antiwar and anti-Bush, anti-Christian Republican rantings during and after the 2004 election.

I've been to 11 Duran Duran concerts so far since '93, the last time I saw them was a few months ago, and I have never heard any anti-American, leftist, political preaching. Smart guys, and a couple of them are very nice as well.

I attended a Duran Duran concert earlier this year. Simon launched into an anti-war, anti-Bush diatribe. Some in the crowd, including me, booed him. I left early.
