Good wholesome music...

Ah, Barbra Streisand... you are one classy lady.

Apparently at a NYC gig Streisand used some "comedy" to try and push her typical "anti-Bush" propaganda. She and a presidential look-alike apparently had a skit that made President Bush look like an idiot.

From audience accounts, the skit went too long, and Streisand started to get heckled by some in the audience who just wanted some music. (Honestly, what was that person expecting, a concert or something?!?!?)

At this point, Streisand screamed "Shut the (expletive) up!... Shut up if you can't take a joke!." (I guess she doesn't like jokes either.) At this, the audience cheered.

I don't know what what's sadder... that an "entertainer" goes nuts and tells some in the audience to off, or that the audience cheers after this tirade.

I don't believe audience members should act like animals at concerts, but I truly don't condone stars becoming less than animals.

Note to performers: Stick with what you are "good" at and leave politics for different venues. People pay for you to perform, not to force your opinions on them.

1 Backtalk:

Blogger Sean Scribner quipped...

I think we ought to round up Barbara Streisand along with Ted Turner and drop them off somewhere in the desert of Iraq. That way, they could reinforce their words with their actions and join Al-Qaeda. That way we can justifiably shoot them...in the leg, of course. Gosh! What did you think, that I would endorse murder? Man, get your mind out of the gutter. Sheesh.......
