In this age of hyperpartisan politics, performers have taken to lecturing concert-goers who paid for the price of a ticket to a political lecture as well. A recent example came from Lady Gaga, who at her Tuesday night concert in Arlington claimed that Texas was a "purple" state, and that she hoped her fans would help turn it "blue."
Writing for the Houston Chronicle, Ariana Garcia praised and highlighted parts of Lady Gaga's speech:
During Lady Gaga's Arlington, Texas stop Tuesday night for her ongoing Chromatica Ball Tour, the popstar gave an impassioned two-minute speech encouraging the Lone Star State to transform its "purple heart." Because, to paraphrase her oft used wisdom, there can be a hundred red voters in a room, but it might take only one to turn them blue.
Between her sets, Gaga called Texas a "special place" where a lot of "conversations, a lot of dialogue, a lot of opinions, even some division" happens. "I want to celebrate you all tonight in the name of love," she added. "I want to celebrate the importance of these hard conversations. From what I understand, right now, this state has a purple, purple heart. I think I'm hoping that that purple is gonna go blue. And if there's anything you can do about it, I want to hear you yell."

WOW! She better not try that next time I'm at one of her concer.................... Oh! Never mind. And those that walked out? She don't care since they already payed for the tix. We walked out of a CSNY show after about song 3 since they couldn't shut up with their anti-capitalist/screw THE MAN screed. While the AIM folks were selling t-shirts outside for $45. Good thing we had comp'd tickets.

I doubt that most of Lady Slutta’s fans can even read a ballot.

I would not walk out on Lady GaGa because I wouldn’t have been there in the first place.

She got her start at a gay bar called "The Round-Up", in Dallas.

It’s only purple from the massive vote fraud conducted by the national DNC vote-rigging apparatus.

Is gaga a man or a woman or is it in transition? It’s hard to tell.

Hopefully she was booed off the stage. Carlos Santana pulls this crap all the time too.

I went to a U2 concert a few years ago (the Joshua Tree anniversary tour) and Bono started off with some comments about how he was for everyone and wanted the show to be a unifying moment so no politics. Great. Then by the end he launched into a screed about how Trump (without saying Trump) was Hitler (without saying Hitler) and one guy in my section screamed out very loudly "Shut the #%&@# up and sing!". He was right behind me so I saw as everyone turned and looked up at him. Half of them were scowling and half were nodding at him. Really showcased how divisive his comments were.
Why put your audience in that position? Just sing.

How about the FEC score an in-kind contribution to the DNC on this?

Republican Mayra Flores’ won in a special election in Texas recently. She flipped a heavily Hispanic House district controlled for a century by Democrats. Good luck trying to turn Texas over to the Commie RATs.

Nah. It's not purple.
The massive vote fraud makes it look that way in some areas.

Having an open border for 57 years had more to do with it.

Excellent point.
The FEC should rule that any promotion or advocacy of a candidate or party on a stage, TV show, movie, talk show, NBC/ABC/CBS or CNN broadcast to ruled to be an in-kind contribution to that candidate or party.
