Subject: RE: An Open Letter to Michelle Shocked
Artists have the right to speak their opinions - I was onstage on Saturday night singing "Everything Possible" and talking in favor of marriage equality. A few people in the audience didn't like it. But nobody walked because I did it in a way that was respectful and didn't put anybody down. What Michelle did wasn't express her personal views; it was insult her audience and speak hatred - her word. As Janis says, it's too bad.
