Doug, if you only care about the singing then you buy the CD.   If you go to the show, you let the artist put on their show. If it includes Linda Ronstadt talking about Michael Moore or Toby Keith wrapping himself in the flag - that is the part of the artist's personna and the show. If you expect the artist to shut up and just sing the songs you are fooling yourself.

Hmmm... people getting up and walking out during an ENCORE. Political statement or people trying to get to their car before the crowd.   Once again the rightwing press seems to have blown something out of proportion.   And the have the balls to call it a "liberal" media. Far from it.
