He squelched his typically blistering rhetoric against the war in Iraq.I was wondering about the sanity of having Mellencamp there. He's music's ok, but his vitriol is appalling. I'm glad he had sense enough (or handlers enough) to shut up about it in that venue.

How many of the guys at Walter Reed even know who that old hag is anyway? I mean, come on...! Maybe she wasn’t allowed to come because she would have bored them to tears. LOL!!!

I realize now that I might have contributed to a better welcome home for those soldiers fresh from Vietnam. In the words of Dick Cheney, "F*** you."

This would be akin to Hanoi Jane Fonda visiting the troops, saying “I could have been more loyal during Vietnam to my own country!”

Unlike most of the moonbat artists, Mellencamp’s opposition to the war is a bit more reasoned and yes, he would have the sense not to go on about it in front of the troops. He’s one artist I can still support and appreciate even though I disagree with him on a political level. He’s definitely not a Dixie Chick.

KISS as the opening act for the New York Philharmonic would be more appropriate.

Those who listen to ‘classic rock’ and shop at stores whose Muzak systems play such songs subsidize these propaganda...

Hard to avoid but worth keeping in mind.

"I have always been an advocate for nonviolence,"I wonder if she would still think that way in the middle of the combat zone.

"After the concert, Baez said, Mellencamp left her a message to say, "I hope you're not mad at me." Her response: " 'Of course not. It's an honor to be turned down by the Army.' . . . But I would have been happier getting in . . . I thought times had changed enough."
This pretty much says it all!
The Army is smart enough to know a traitor when they see one!!
