As an aside, Tim Robbins said during his speech at the National Press Club that a "middle-aged rocker" called to thank him for speaking out against the war and our foreign policy. The middle-aged rocker said he himself could not speak out because he was trying to market his new album and he was concerned that radio stations, especially those owned by Clear Channel, would not play the record if he got too political. I thought the rocker might be either Tom Petty or Lindsey.

Interesting idea, but I doubt it. Lindsey has been taking every opportunity to distance himself from any kind of political statement on the war, despite the fact that a single named "Peacekeeper" begs the question.
And Stevie's letter to the troops would surely keep even Clear Channel playing SYW even if Lindsey commented that he was against the war.
