"They came to hear music, not political hate speech."
Invariably people who complain about political songs are objecting to ones which express ideas contrary to their own. Wonder if they'd have demanded their money back if the songs had been in favour of Dubya (answers on a postcard please).
What your 2 ladies are really saying is "How dare you express views that I don't agree with", in which case - sod 'em; doesn't sound as if you are going to lose two regular customers.
Politics has been a part of songmaking as long as people have been making songs - why change things to suit a couple of rednecks.
