Message to Will:

Thank you for your quick reply to this thread.

Just wanted to add that many of the concerts I have attended (not political events) but are advertised in the newspaper and other ads as a concert at medium to large venues, where you buy your tickets ahead of time, etc. and are held in large concert halls.

I have found that many folk artists will start talking about their political agendas on stage between songs - (well known folk artists.)
Don't want to name names here but it does make me feel uncomfortable. Some artists do this more then others. Yes, I know, I don't have to go to their concerts, etc. but I do remain fans of their music and do like to hear "live music" so I am always hoping that the concert will be just that - a concert and not too much political talk going on.
