I often wonder about "rock stars", and "hollywood stars", etc. asserting their political opinions in the world forum.
If I'm in the business of trying to sell CD's, concerts, movies and endorsements, do I really want to alienate 50% of the people who are my customers?
Seems to me they are sacrificing an awful lot of loot for an opinion best kept to themselves. JMHO

edit: Oh ya, I forgot, they are sooo important!

Dave Mustaine talking to Pit Magazine just before the last election - an excerpt:

Dave Mustaine: "Yeah you've got Tom Morello from AUDIOSLAVE walking around talking about freeing the people in South America while he is walking around in his ****ing Gucci silk suits. Spare me, what do you know about that? Talk about hypocrisy. Natalie Maines from the DIXIE CHICKS said that she is ashamed to be from the state of Texas; well I'm ashamed that you are ****ing from America. I saw her at a Nashville Predators game, talk about somebody who needs to go on a diet. I don't know if she was pregnant at the time, but she sure looked it. But the fact is unless you are a politician, shut up. What do they know about politics? (With a southern accent) Oh well I'm gonna vote for a guy that gonna raise taxes on the ****ing rich. You stupid twat. You are in the upper income bracket in America, you are gonna get taxed. And when small business owners get taxed, jobs are lost. How stupid is that? You don’t know what the **** you are talking about, shut up.

Dave is the founder and lead singer for the band Megadeth..
