AARRGGHHHHH - pet peeve - artists are always free to speak their minds and they certainly did for Kerry in that huge concert promoting Kerry that was lead by The Boss.

But, artists should not be surprised if people judge them for their political views - and that judgement cuts both ways in that both sides do it I mean many people cannot stand artists who speak out for W and refuse to buy their records on that basis So, I think they can talk about politics all they want - but there are repercussions for that. In a way that is sad, but I certainly do it even though I try not to - I think on some level we all do. I mean if I went to the doctor and as she was examining me, she started extolling the virtues of W and his cronies, I would be offended as I am there for medical treatment - not a lesson in politics - and I certainly would not go back Conversely, if that same doctor started lambasting W - I would go back. To me that is the same thing and it has nothing to do with the quality of the medical treatment

Anyway - I know what ya mean - it is just a pet peeve of mine

But - back to the topic at hand - England is a FAB. place. I love London and I really love Wales and the Cotswolds!!!!!!!
