don’t forget to support the ERA! We shall overcome.

Where is the No Kooks concert being held?

[weegee]

They don’t even need to hold a “large” concert anymore.

Go into a studio and stream it on the web. Global coverage without the ego trip.

[GSWarrior]

Time to break out the trite bumper stickers.

[Badeye]

This is the way the better public relation types are trying to avoid having their clients being mocked for being on social security but still trying to ‘rock’.

Is there anyone in the music industry that has been more discredited by history SINCE 1979 than Jackson Browne?

Nope.

[exit82]

If these a-holes would shut their month, global warming would cease.

They were wrong about nukes then and they are wrong now.

Next time you’re in a global warming debate with a lib, tell them you have an energy generating solution which produces no CO2—NUCLEAR ENERGY.

Music stars: We must still fight nukes

Aging hippies versus nuclear weapons and power? That's hardly a fair fight. I haven't seen what the Vegas line is but I'll take the nukes. I just hope there is a decent undercard- otherwise there is no way I'm going to buy the Pay-Per-View of it...

[xroadie]

Don’t forget that the underlying aim is to bring down the economy of the U.S.A.

Correct. Otherwise, they would be protesting against the latest countries to develop Nuclear capabilities. Stand by for their concerts in Tehran and Pyongyang.

[dennisw]

This hippie sh!t never freakin dies!!!

[Fido969]

So this is a protest against Iran?

[Noumenon]

This is so breathtakingly stupid.

Bonnie Raitt answers your questions

Wow, how did Ms. Raitt manage to become a nuclear engineer during her busy singing career?

[small voice in the wilderness]

It happened the morning she went out to pick her magic mushrooms. She looked closely at the shimmering fungi, and, well, the rest is history. The mushroom cloud that exploded in her brain taught her many life lessons. Like war is wrong, and dancing fairies on the blades of grass make little sighs when they’re stepped on. She’s brilliant, you know..

[BlazingArizona]

I'd trust a Third-Class Petty Officer fresh off the Nuclear Power School "comp"

Cautionary note: We did that once, and we got Jimmy Carter.

[Wonder Warthog]

"But opposing nuclear power is a religious issue to many Boomers."

Excuse me, but bull****. The anti-nuke eco-freaks are a small but noisy subset of "Boomers". You'll find the eco-radicals in every generation in about the same numbers.

[BlazingArizona]

I had no idea Bonnie Raitt had degrees in engineering and envrionmental sciences,

She has the same set of engineering and physics degrees as Al Gore. Maybe she will win the Nobel Peace Prize in '08.

[Fledermaus]

Morons

[Finatic]

Ok so we have a recovering alcoholic (raitt) and a spouse abuser (Browne) and is Graham Nash even a US citizen? Telling us what is best for the country.

Why should I give a hoot what any of these over the hill hippies has to say.

When is the last time any of these performers had a hit?

[dfwgator]

When is the last time any of these performers had a hit?

Probably last night, oh wait you mean a musical 'hit'.

[OCCASparky]

Nah--Carter was an officer.

Rickover had a saying: Send a boatful of officers out, and it'll never come back. Send a boatful of enlisted out, and it'll come back--DIRTY!
