They can sing- and thats what people want to hear-- not half baked opinions or insults. GO ON TALK shows and rant. Musical talent is what brought fame- not intelligence.</blockquote> Too young? I think it is the young people that are the only hope we have for this country; given how the "adults" are doing. And, I have to say, as an artist it is their obligation to use their fame to be heard. That takes balls, and would rather see more people doing it; Toby Keith is... just in the opposite direction. People don't seem to have a problem with his borderline bigotry, well, at least not the people that have a problem with the Chicks speaking up and saying something that millions of us feel.

They are too young and too inexperienced in world politics to have an opinion. They can sing- and thats what people want to hear– not half baked opinions or insults. GO ON TALK shows and rant. Musical talent is what brought fame- not intelligence.

The rub is that the comments were made in a concert- and in a foreign country- where people had paid to hear music. Willie Nelson- George Strait-any number of performers and actors have antiwar sentiments- however- even a rabid Alec Baldwin doesn't interrupt a movie to state his views.

So, if the law doesn't apply to him, I declare it doesn't apply to me either. We both have equal legal justification to make such a declaration, which is to say none.

Wed, 24 May 2006 20:33:44 +0000 http://www.duanemoody.com/?p=250#comment-2742 Well said PJS. Acknowledgement and fact are indeed separate, and as long as Duane continues to pay his federal taxes and obey other federal laws, he is in fact, acknowledging his citizenship through adherence, dare I say obedience. Duane- I hate to break your bubble, but your defiance could only be justified by illegal activity, of which at this point you have not publicly stated any. And how would one make you "acknowledge" him? Noogies and titty twisters until you say uncle? Well said PJS.

For example, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chuck Schumer are, in fact, "my senators", whether or not I voted for them and whether or not I like it. It's a legal and a linguistic point. The sky is blue, whether or not blog-commenters can make me acknowledge the blueness. Just sayin.
