Well, yeah, Clinton. So why would the audience go bananas, and why would the club? Why is it so threatening to people when someone has a different opinion from theirs?

Some performers (like Joan Baez) are known for being politically outspoken...she herself has said that she is really more of a politician than an entertainer...and their audiences go to their shows expecting them to make political comments.

It seems that people get very annoyed when something happens that they didn't expect. Note Dylan's audience's reaction to him going electric in '65...

I was once asked not to sing songs with social commentary in a certain club...since the people who went there were there to smoke cigars, drink, talk, and not think about anything! :-) Thinking just terrifies certain people, and it probably hurts too.
