tbrown 26 #127 August 12, 2004 QuoteMost of them I couldn't care less about anyway. But a couple of them actually had some catchy tunes that I enjoyed. Now the sound of them will just remind me of there connection to Moveon.org so there will be no pleasure hearing them for me. Pearl Jam Bruce Springsteen R.E.M. Dave Matthews Band Jurassic 5 Dixie Chicks Death Cab for Cutie James Taylor Ben Harper My Morning Jacket Jackson Browne Bonnie Raitt John Fogerty Keb' Mo' Bright Eyes John Mellencamp Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds Fine, be that way. More tickets for those who want to go. Who WILL you see anyway ? Sammy, Dino, Frank, and Andy are all dead, and uh, so is Lawrence Welk. If you boycott every artist or musician because of their politics, substance abuse, or sexual indiscretions, you will live a life without art. Or music. What an empty life that would be. But you do what you want, you will anyway. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steel 0 #129 August 24, 2004 QuoteBetter add: Randy Travis Lee Ann Womack Foghat (just wanted to keep you up to date so you didn't accidentally listen to a band that supports a certain candidate.) Did you not watch foxnews last night on O'reilly? Travis Tritt is conservative. Just because he made a song with John Cougar didn't mean he was from the left. In fact he said that he respected John Cougar because unlike Springsteen, Cougar doesn't try to push his beliefs onto others.If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TO WASHINGTON John Mellencamp Eight years of peace and prosperity Scandal in the White House An election is what we need From coast-to-coast to Washington So America voted on a president No one kept count On how the election went From Florida to Washington Goddamn, said one side And the other said the same Both looked pretty guilty But no one took the blame From coast-to-coast to Washington So a new man in the White House With a familiar name Said he had some fresh ideas But it's worse now since he came From Texas to Washington And he wants to fight with many And he says it's not for oil He sent out the National Guard To police the world From Baghdad to Washington What is the thought process To take a humans life What would be the reason To think that this is right From heaven to Washington From Jesus Christ to Washington ------------------------------------------- From Salon: June 30, 2003 | "The whole thing was surreal to me," says John Mellencamp. He's remembering the three-month period during the winter and spring when America was wrestling with the notion of war against Iraq. The roots-rocker found himself caught in the public fray after he released an antiwar song at the height of the debate, with some radio listeners comparing him to Osama bin Laden. It was a startling charge for the Hoosier recently dubbed "Mr. Middle America" by ABC News. After nearly 30 years on the public stage, Mellencamp and his lunch-bucket rock and populist tales have come to signify heartland values like faith, hard work and, yes, a healthy skepticism toward authority. But anti-Americanism? "Get the fuck out of here," he scoffs. His protest song "To Washington," with its thinly veiled jabs at President Bush, struck a chord with listeners on the left and right alike. "Isn't it funny?" he asks. "A 51-year-old guy who's made as many records as I have can still piss off the right wing." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydyvr 0 #133 August 25, 2004 QuoteQuote Travis Tritt is conservative. I must have missed something; where did someone say Travis Twitt was liberal? See, Travis Tritt is Randy Travis' second cousin, although they do share a common sister, dad, and funny uncle. So since they are so close, they obviously must share the same political beliefs. I think that's what he was getting at. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #135 August 25, 2004 I can't see why everyone is getting so antsy about all of this. Artists, of various disicplines, have been using their medium for political statements since the days of Chaucer, and probably even earlier. Just deal with it folks.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #136 August 25, 2004 "Eight years of peace and prosperity Scandal in the White House An election is what we need From coast-to-coast to Washington" I guess good ol' Johnny Cougar can't remember that in 1993, under Smilin' Bill, the U.S. was attacked at the World Trade Center by Osama Bin Laden. Peace, huh? No terrorism? You sure, Johnny? I guess good ol' Johnny Cougar can't remember that when scandal threatened to eclipse Smilin' Bill, Billy just launched some missiles into the lives of innocents in an aspirin factory. Peace, huh? You sure things were so peaceful under Smilin' Bill, Johnny? edit: Oh, how could I forget, Johnny -- my memory must be as bad as YOURS, Johnny -- how could I forget AMERICAN TROOPS IN BOSNIA -- WHAT DID BOSNIA DO TO THREATEN THE SAFETY OF THE UNITED STATES, JOHNNY???? EIGHT YEARS OF PEACE? Under CLINTON?? ROTFLMAO what a selective fuckin' memory you have there, Mr. Cougar. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

billvon 3,099 #138 August 25, 2004 Another few to add to the list: Moby Natalie Merchant ---------------------------- from The Washington Post Hip-hop impresario Benny Boom, who has directed videos for P. Diddy, Lil' Kim and LL Cool J, didn't need to have his arm twisted to join an anti-Bush advertising campaign. "I felt like Bush stole the last election and the whole country kind of got robbed and bamboozled, and I wanted to make sure I did my part besides voting," he says. When he was approached by the liberal MoveOn PAC, "I was like, yo, I want to do an ad myself." Moby is among the musicians set to perform at tonight's premiere. A celebrity-saturated effort to defeat the president kicks into high gear tonight in New York with a premiere featuring music by Moby, the Roots and Natalie Merchant, and appearances by actor Kevin Bacon, Boom, liberal radio hosts Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo and onetime candidate Howard Dean. The opening-night glitter is designed to publicize the forthcoming MoveOn advertising campaign, which includes all manner of famous people. -------------------------- Well, at least there are those Christian rock stations you can still listen to without fear of supporting an anti-Bush musician.

dropoutdave 0 #139 August 25, 2004 I remember hearing an interview with Britney where she said she trusted your beloved GWB in everything he did.

Zenister 0 #140 August 27, 2004 might want to chuck your A Perfect Circle and Tool disks if your really boycotting bands based on political belief.... QuoteNovember 2nd, coinciding with the presidential election, APC will be releasing a collection of songs about WAR, PEACE, LOVE AND GREED, entitled "eMOTIVe." Featuring new material and songs like "imagine" by John Lennon, "What's goin on" by Marvin Gaye, "Let's have a war" by FEAR. This week we will release one of these new songs entitled, "Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums," with an animated video poking fun at our fearless leader. Hopefully, you'll find it as entertaining as we do. REMEMBER... EVERY SINGLE VOTE COUNTS. Don't let yourself be tricked into thinking it does not. It is important for us all to engage this political system and to be conscious of who is being chosen to speak for us. If you choose not to be involved with decisions that affect your life on a daily basis, in our opinion, you forfeit your right to complain about it later. THINK FOR YOURSELF. QUESTION AUTHORITY. Hopefully you will choose to vote on November 2nd. Peace, Maynard. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
