Concert For The Dead Princess Chick

I watched some of the concert yesterday, wasn't half bad. Noticeably absent was U2, not sure if they had a scheduling conflict, or maybe Bono was raising money for some African war lords or something. This past weekend of course, was just a rehearsal for the big show this upcoming weekend. I'm talking of course about the 24 hour world wide Gore 08 campaign rally. Al's booking agent has said that all of his speaking engagements have been cancelled through the next year. I imagine that he will announce this weekend. He will get plenty of face time on all the networks and news channels, leading up to, during, and after the event, so it would be logical to do it. It's kind of ironic that so many acts signed up to do this little dog and pony show, seeing that if Gores wife had her way (and she might come 09) she and the rest of her PMRC (if you are younger than 30 Google it.) posse would stop at nothing to destroy the carers of most of them. Yea, remember that all you wannabe tree hugging hippies? When the PMRC ruled the roost in Washington? Well that was your good buddies Al and Tipper Gore. Hope all you good time Pop stars and Rock and or Rollers have fun sucking at the teat of the people who would destroy you. The sad part is, no musicians, even the ones that Al and Tipper had directly in there cross hairs, (except for Dave Mustaine and Dee Snider) have even called them out on it.

What has happened? I mean Music used to be non partisan, against all politicians be it left or right, Republican or Democrat. It's a sad state of affairs. It used to be that the music community lined up to denounce the political establishment not work to help it. Now today's pop/rock stars can't wait to get in line to falate the bastards. It truley is a dark time.
