PhoneBill “Clinging to 'em since 1776” Since: Sep 07 799 Location hidden	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Mar 21, 2008 Wha What? What a shocker! Oh for the love of Pete...who's next, Barry (I put the man in) Manilow??(man, that's low) P.S. Does it really matter? If I like their music, I like their music, regardless of their personal life. I do not, however, enjoy any musician preaching to me when they should be singing, even if I agree with their viewpoints. The same goes with actors, who, ironically, are simply famous for speaking other people's words. Now if they have been invited to a political rally, then I have no problem with that; it is expected there, after all. Anyone else need this soapbox, I'm done with it, for now.
