Clooney? No Way! She's a great performer and as far as I know, has never gone off on a puerile political rant.
I bought the soundtrack album back when the movie came out in the 70s...somehow it wound up leaving me with my then, live in girlfriend...
ah well.
I would think that Comrade Harry Belafonte would be on this list.
As much as anybody, Willie Nelson SHOULD be boycotted. His vision of “intellectual property” extends WAY beyond merely jealous guarding of his lyrics and chord arrangements, it is a tool to wrench additional sums from people who do not even have much regard for his repertoire. He got into an extended wrangle with the IRS, and ended up owing huge amounts of delinquent taxes and assessments. Willie claimed it was because of “bad bookkeeping” by his accountants, and maybe so, but they could only deal with the information he was willing to share with them. Besides, he could blame his woes on the Bush-41 administration, which provided him with bono-fides with the liberal crowd.
His bogus “Farm Aid” concerts actually provide little help for the supposed recipients (most of the proceeds go to the promotion and “expenses” involved). His enterprise in biodiesel fuel is more for the subsidy benefits to the operation than for any actual contribution to “energy independence”.
Cuffing aging hippie.
Get on the road again. And don’t come back.
not sure i want or need anyone telling me with whom i should associate or do business with.
American woman, stay away from me.I absolutely couldn't believe it when this anti-American screed actually climbed to the top of the pop charts in June of 1970.
American women, mama let me be.
Don't come hangin' around my door.
I don't wanna see your face no more.
I don't need your war machine.
I don't need your ghetto scenes.
The old reggae was the best, still had an edge
Shocking and horrible
just think if someone told him the only music he should listen to?
definitely
Brilliant record. Sure they are “left” but they don’t rant about it at concerts. They have said in interviews before, “If you don’t like our views that’s fine. Just enjoy the music.” I’m capable of separating out the message from the music and just enjoying it for what it is and how the artist intended it. If I boycotted everything was wasn’t “pro-American” there wouldn’t be much left and life would be pretty dull.
Some of these artists are played on FR’s canteen. Are we supposed to boycott that too?
She sure was, and you are correct unlike her nephew she has never gone off on a silly rant period
Does he still sell records?
I remember from 20-30 years ago when every band that played in different bars had someone that wanted to sound like Willy Nelson that it really got so old
American Idiot?
PLEASE!! I come here for the civility, not the name calling. Head over to the DUmpster if you want to use such coarse language.
