To: I want the USA back
For the fools who still thing that there is freedom of speech in the formerly great (but no longer) USA, when they take away your livelihood there is no freedom of speech.

Depends on who "they" is. If the Government punishes you for your speech, that's a violation of the First Amendment. If your fans don't like what you say and stop buying your records, that's not. Look at what happened to the Dixie Chicks.

Chains didn’t drop the Dixie Chicks albums or block their concerts. Michelle Shocked has been kicked off of booked stages. Wonder what her signed contracts say about that.
