Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ

Artists are going to say what's on their mind.

When I go to a concert I go to hear the music, not the political rantings of the musician.

When I go to a concert I go to hear the music and whatever else the artist has to say. They're not my juke box -- they're people.

I attend concerts for the music,not to have somebody shove their political beliefs down my throat!

I guess we're different in this regard. No one is "shoving" anything. I can listen or ignore, agree or disagree. I'm resilient that way.

@roxy54 You make a good point. Perhaps some kind of disclaimer on the ticket -

- e.g. "During this 90 minute show, you will hear X minutes of music and Y minutes of the musicians talking."

That way, one would make an informed decision about what they're in for!

@tomcy6 

What people object to is being subjected to stupid and hypocritical political rants. People should be informed in ads that the rants will be a prominent feature of the show.

Oh, no! I agree! People should really get a warning about the things they might experience at the show. Otherwise, those who want just music might find themselves surprised and cheated by the event, which isn't cheap. If one pays $100 bucks or more for something, they should know specifically what they're paying for, and the provider should stick to the specifics of the agreement.
