XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN FEB 23, 2003 23:59:11 ET XXXXX CROW CHARGES: GRAMMY COMMITTEE WARNED ME In New York City on Sunday night, Sheryl Crow claimed GRAMMY reps called her management telling her to refrain from making anti-war statements during the live awards show! "I was [going to do something] and then the GRAMMY committee called up my manager... they said they wanted to keep it all neutral," Crow bravely revealed backstage. MORE GRAMMY officials quicky moved in to action -- "categorically" denying Crow's charge. "No one contacted any artist to talk about content," GRAMMY President Neil Portnow said sternly. On Friday the DRUDGE REPORT disclosed that a CBS executive warned microphones could be unplugged if live performances turned political. "It, of course, is a final option [to cut the microphone.] But it's a very real option," said the top source, who demanded anonymity. "There is a time for political commentary, this is not one of them!" On Saturday CBS's official spokesman Chris Ender publicly denied the DRUDGE story: "There will be no restrictions on artistic expression or opinions expressed during acceptance speeches." Crow, whose guitar strap featured the words "NO WAR" during her on-air Sunday night performance, stopped short of her AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS turn when she wore a 'War is Not the Answer' sequined t-shirt and told reporters, 'I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies." Developing...

I love those guys. When they called into Rush that was a classic.

Except for ending Slavery, Facsism, Nazism and Communism-
WAR has NEVER Solved Anything.

Saddam Only Kills His Own People-
It's None of Our Business

Communism has Only Killed 100 Million People.
Let's Give it Another Chance.

OK, FReepers, time for the Creative One to 'fess up! Who was the FReeper who called Sheryl's manager, claiming to be a representative of the Grammy Committee, and insisted she should shut up? It's time for you to come forward and accept the accolades for your brilliance!

She's no different than the worm girl in Men In Black II ~ they make themselves up to be pretty for those who can't look past their eyeballs but underneath the surface lies such gross, mutant filth!

I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.

What will she say to the rapist as he is raping her? Since she has no enemies she will go ahead and have a good-ole time? Make love, not war? Obviously she won't fight off the attack.

What an idiot...

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

OK, dressed like that she can babble on as long as she wants. I'll just hit the mute button...

The best way to solve problems is not to have enemies

Exactly right. That's why we're going to kill them. No more enemy = no more problem.

You can be sure that they won't stop talking until people stop listening to them.

The inside of Avril Livgne's coat did not say NO WAR.... It said ROCK ON.

[DUH]

- I've never understood what the deal is with Sheryl Crow. She's a lousy musician

ah finally! someone gets it!

Just a little plug, complimenting the women in my Church who can sing circles around ms (sings like her last name) crow

Also, a little earlier in this post, someone referred to her as something of a "hottie" ... I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

And what about the shirt that said "dead H Pres" that tall afro'd woman had on...I was offended by that. Was there something to that shirt message?

The "H" was actually an I Ching symbol which means "The Army". It means: military/soldiers/group action.

"The Army needs steadfast discipline
Perseverence and a strong man to unite."

Excerpts:

If you command respect, you will receive support. An army is only as good as the people in it. It leaps into action when necessary, but not before. The leader must command unlimited support, sincerity and enthusiasm, and make sure that justice and ultimately peace prevail. The hexagram suggests that you must find support and help from those around you and that these friends must act together with you for the best interest. It is necessary to be a kind, strong and supportive ruler. The respect of the nation depends upon this. The ruler must educate the people in the correct manner.

------------

I wonder if she chose the wrong hexagram to make her point?

"What an idiot"

Exactly, these stupid mamby pamby's only serve to embolden our enemies to action. So, in a way they are causing the very trouble they seek to avoid. How's that for logic?
