Nice to see that some liberals, like Gene Simmons, get it. I think we are going to see a lot of "Bush Democrats" in the next election.

"In time of war, to aid and give comfort to the enemy on foreign soil, on stage and in a public forum is perfect fodder for anybody's press overseas that has a slightly different agenda, and I think it's reprehensible. And just because you're cute and have D-cups doesn't mean it's any less reprehensible." --Gene Simmons

THAT'S a keeper. Nail on the head BUMP!!

Simmons says that because of those comments, and the fact that they were made on foreign soil, he has canceled a planned feature for his entertainment magazine, Gene Simmons Tongue, in which the Dixie Chicks would have been on the cover.

I like Gene and appreciate his patriotism but I ain't buyin' that the Dixie Chicks were *ever* gonna be featured on the cover of his magazine!

"Even the Dixie Chicks' manager, Simon Renshaw, cast doubt on the sincerity of Maines' apology by blaming the negative reaction on the vast right-wing conspiracy, which allegedly gave orders to its character assassins through the conservative Website, freerepublic.com."

LOL! The fact that country music fans are generally conservative and FR is a conservative forum which would likely contain a high proportion of country fans never appears to occur to the brain twisted idiot. Figures.

Insightful article. Someone finally got the message and it didn't take a bump on the head. What was really interesting is the recognition that these dippy celebraties have their freedom of speech maintained, but we, the American public, also have the right to turn these jerks and jerkettes off.

If I want to return my Pearl Jam CD's to Eddie Vedder, does anyone know what address I can use? (And I have the same question about my Pretenders CD's.)

Thanks.
