    As far as my music choices go they largely consist of the 80's includin
    Abba to Warren Zevon. A few others that I listen to is Ozzy, Iron Maide
    Kiss and Murray Gold (from Doctor Who fame) and I gotta have CCR in my play-list.

    I laughingly once said that my music education stopped somewhere after 'Hotel California' ... meaning none of today's stuff gets my attention.

    Saw the Eagles live 3x, McCartney, CCR, Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody
    (the real Queen), Chicago (the real Chicago), Clapton 4x ... the 70-ies
    ad 80-ies are wonderful, after that the labels, studios and technology took over.
    I went to the KISS concert at the Garden in NYC on Saturday Night.
    It was EPIC. It was their final show.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. You're not a music nazi like I am. I hold grudges against them when they endorse Democrats (like Stanley and Simmons did.)

    Did they take the opportunity to remind attendees to "Re-elect Biden next year?"

    It was my first KISS concert, and my last due that it was the last show ever. "End of the Road" I did not know of Paul Stanley's political beliefs but I didn't go to show to hear a political speak, nor did I have any expeditions of a political rally at a KISS Concert. I was there naturally because of the music that has almost spanned 50 years. Paul's political views or opinions do not effect me nor to they sour my stomach of the The most Epic concert I have seen, Iron Maiden in Washington was fantastic as well. There were literal fireworks as well as flames of heat that I felt sitting as well as standing at the Kiss Concert.

    Paul Stanley's words on X (formerly known as twitter)
    "If You Are A Fan Who Now Feels My Opinions Are Alienating You, that is sadly your choice & not my intention. Do the entertainers you enjoy have to share your beliefs? Would you like it more if you didn't know? In many cases you'd be fooling yourself. I won't do that to you or me."

    An Article from the Rolling Stone
    Gene Simmons has been enjoying watching Donald Trump subvert the presidential race, calling it the most fascinating election he can remember and saying it was bound to happen in what he calls the "Age of Kardashian." He is the truest political animal I've ever seen onstage, the Kiss vocalist-bassist tells Rolling Stone. He has no speech-writers, no editing, no nothing. He's actually on tape going moth*rfucker. You cannot turn away.

    Simmons is quick to point out that he's not saying he's supporting Trump.
    He has said some very vile, unkind things, he says. (Gene's opinion, not mine) But don't kid yourself. He speaks off the cuff, and what you see is what you get. And he'll double down. If you ask him about building a wall [between the U.S. and Mexico] he'll say, F**k you, I'm going to make it 10 feet higher, just because you asked me. He's not there to be your friend.

    What fascinates Simmons is Trump's ability to root out people's feelings. He's good for the political system, he says. The middle, the centrists, they can say, What do you think of this? because everybody is sick and tired of being politically correct. Secretly, tens of millions, perhaps 100 million people may actually have some positive feelings about a wall.

    Macedonia is building a wall between Greece and Macedonia, he continues. There's a wall between Israel and a neighboring country. There was a Berlin Wall. There was the Great Wall of China. So whether they're good or bad for people, walls actually work. It's unkind, but in terms of pragmatics, it actually works The Pope has said the wall is unkind, but it's interesting that at the Vatican there's a wall. They don't want people on the outside coming into the Vatican.

    Ultimately, Simmons feels it will be up to Americans as individuals to make a private decision about Trump's wall and his ability to be president. One thing he feels he knows for sure, however, is that this guy has changed politics forever in America. Showbiz has become politics, the singer says, referencing the way Marco Rubio felt a need to reference the size of Trump's p*nis and Trump replied.

    Did they take the opportunity to remind attendees to "Re-elect Biden next year?"
    Nope there was none of that.

    It does not bother me so long as they are not trying to use their position
    as a celebrity to influence others. For example, if this was their last concert because "we are mad about Trump and are leaving the USA!" that
    would influence my ability to enjoy their music. Just having a different belief and expressing it, by itself, doesn't bother me.

    Well of course I do understand your opinion and you're entirely entitled to it, just as much as Paul is or anyone is entitled to theirs.
    However these opinions that come in from the left don't mean much - they are just empty words that are meaningless as well as baseless. This is closely related to TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) Latisha James seems to have the highest concentration of this disease. She will fall as hard as she is heavy.
    It could take days for DPW to clean up that mess.

    The departure from New York Port Authority was nightmare as it was delayed back to Albany, NY 2.5 hours and you would think that it was the worst of it, but no there is more to tell. Once aboard the bus and in our assigned seats. We got underway heading back up to upstate, NY (Albany) I was talking quietly with the gal that I went with to the show with. The driver gets on the PA system and states the following..
    "This is Federal bus, your under surveillance and your being recorded and there are cameras on the bus, I need you to finish your conversation and remain silent." Seriously? This was a chartered bus with a paid admission.
    Not a prison transport.
    This driver has no idea who I am or I work for or that he has violated my constitutional rights of freedom of speech. I wasn't talking loudly as I was
    sitting right next to the gal and in the same row.

    Eagles chicken shit tickets for over $200 ... McCartney lately in Brazil and Down Under over $500 ... Gentlemen ... Puhlease ...

    Musicians, well entertainers in general, should keep their political views to themselves. None of them should tell anyone else how they should think - especially since many of them can't think for themselves in the first place.

    I have a list of entertainers (musicians, actors, artists, etc.) that I will not purchase anything from anymore. Not because they had a different view than me. But because they injected that view into their works in an effort to influence others.

    I find it interesting that many of them are very quiet today. You just don't see/hear about them. I wonder why.

    My opinion of the Eagles is that, while I liked their music (and still do), they go on another "farewell tour" whenever one or more of them needs
    money. I have never been tempted to see any of their shows as a result.

    My experience is that the performers who put on the best shows are the ones that don't tour with the inflated ticket prices. I have seen Pink Floyd
    three times. All three times I saw them, their prices were lower than
    other groups touring at the time, and their shows were incredible! Eric Clapton and Rush also put on good shows the times I saw them, and they also toured with reasonable ticket prices.

    Hello Aaron,

    It's smart to appreciate them for their music and to not pay attention to their political messages.

    John Lennon was assassinated in NYC just before Ronald Reagan
    took office. Yoko Ono saved his bloodstained glasses and put them
    up for display to remind folks what guns do to people. This never
    would have happened had Ronald Reagan been president, as he had
    planned to deport Lennon for failing to have a green card.

    John Lennon's political message was the same as those held by
    Yoko Ono. And we all know what the message was/is.

    So normally I agree with you (that they should shut the hell up about

    I often read blabbermouth.net, a rock & roll news website that appears to be owned by Kiss. Paul Stanley has trashed Trump dozens of times on blabbermouth, as Gene Simmons has done it also to a lesser extent.

    I remember him saying stuff about this "trans movement" that the Democrats are inflicting on us, but he never mentioned the word "Democrat" or "the media."

    Because they have all the power, money, and platform availability in the world; they have an unfair advantage, and they're brainwashing weak minded people. Me, all I have is Fidonet for a platform. Totally fair, right?

    You don't have to agree with anyone but you don't need to slam them because they have an opinion and share it as we all do.

    They aren't sharing an opinion though; they lied to the whole world by saying that we needed Biden and/or that Trump needed to go, and Biden screwed us over
    extremely badly, in several unprecedented ways. They were either in on it, or they were paid to lie to us. Which one is it?

    Democrats are not changing "the racial demographic".

    They already have. Mission accomplished. The demographic has been changed dramatically. They're still trying to frantically squeeze in as many more as they can before they face the music (Congress.) More than 2000 people died along the US/Mexico border since Biden took office. More than 500 women and girls have reported being raped in the Darien Gap while en route to the USA. Biden has a corvette in his garage. These are all facts. It takes extreme arrogance and pure evil to not want to put an end to it.

    Whoever wrote "Imagine," I guess they wanted people to get along. I'm for that too. But Democrats want us to be racially divided.

    I just read that Kelsey Grammar (Fraisure) endorsed Trump during an interview with BBC (today) and then the reporter abruptly ended the interview.

    But I treat this the same as some other actor endorcing a Democrat: It's irrelevant.

    So normally I agree with you (that they should shut the hell up about politics or who they endorse) but at the same time, I'm appreciative of the Kelsey Grammar endorsement because he's risking a lot, and this era
    is like no other, with the unprecedented damage that Democrats are
    causing in their effort to change the racial Demographic.

    There seems to be a direct correllation between "success" in Hollywood and support of Elitists. Those who support the Elitists get roles, etc. Those who don't support, don't get roles.

    Grammar is rich enough and isn't seeking roles, so he's free to speak out. But that doesn't change the way I think about him or whatever he's endorcing.

    Eagles chicken shit tickets for over $200 ...

    Not the same without Frey. Or worth it.

    McCartney lately in Brazil and Down Under over $500 ...

    I saw McCartney live in a solo act in New Orleans for far less.

    And then Rod Stewart only selling half of the venue ...

    You don't have to agree with anyone but you don't need to slam them because they have an opinion and share it as we all do.

    The problem is, it is so much more then an opinion especially when it comes
    out of the left, it is a narrative that they are trying to convince others of. Based on most of the time with just your feelings, and seldom there are no facts to support this noise from the left.

    We as Conservatives have the ability to see the difference from what is a opinion and what "you people" are parading about as the narrative.
    Usually this is hatched out of basement, again based on nothing more then feelings.

    I remember him saying stuff about this "trans movement" that the Democrats are >nflicting on us, but he never mentioned the word "Democrat" or "the media."

    He might not have mentioned them at the time, but the flack he got that
    caused him to have to defend his position came from those sources.

    Hello Aaron,

    And then Rod Stewart only selling half of the venue ...

    Nobody cares for Rod Stewart after he dropped his baby out of a
    high rise window. Or was that Eric Clapton?

    I like Rod Stewart. I'm *that guy*

    Stewart was high, but not the kind of high that Clapton was on.
    But it is easy to understand what happened. I mean, it takes two
    hands to play a guitar ...

    Ronny Wood is great. He's too heavy for Rod Stewart, but they still made great songs.

    I got an entire crowd to boo The Beach Boys at a concert
    held at a football stadium in Louisiana. The concert was held
    while a crawfish boil was going on in the parking lot. As a
    result, fans were getting plenty of boiled crawfish and free
    beer. Well, stuff happens when fans drink too much beer. And
    when fans who are right before the bandstand lose their lunch
    it can be a ghastly sight. That is when fans flee for the
    bleachers.

    Well, the lead singer for The Beach Boys had to make a joke
    of it. You know how we have the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans? He
    said we have the Swamp Bowl, as there was a lake in front of
    him.

    Crawfish and beer. I'll bet none of the Beach Boys ever touched
    that stuff after that concert.

    No, it is just someone expressing an opinion as you do.
    Even an opinion has truth to it or at least it should.
    Take Trump for example the left despises him as they point to these phony indictments against him and they are completely politically motivated, Trump has been and currently is leading in the polls. Trump has been on the planet for 70+ years and single solitary indictment.

    They impeached Trump over a perfect phone call, of which there is a transcript of every spoken word.

    They tried to impeached him over a the fake russian
    dossier which triggered the Muller along with a dozen + DemocRATS.
    Trump was acquitted from each of those impeachments.

    Joe Biden is a cognitive mess and he is getting worse.

    https://tinyurl.com/2ynvub58
    Cognitive problems Biden pulled apart as 75% of Americans don't want him as next President.

    Biden gets confused and mumbles with questionable unrecognizable words.
    More then a few times at the end of a speaking engagement, he does not know which way to go to get off the stage. Left, Right, Left, and then Right he looks a foolish.
    He says very dumb things - these make their way on to the Internet known as Biden Gaffes.

    We as Conservatives have the ability to see the difference from what is opinion and what "you people" are parading about as the narrative.

    So, this is an us and them thing then?

    No not at all, you as well as others have been suggesting that Trump is so bad but have not provided facts.

    Take the "Joe Biden crime family" narrative for example. There are no facts to it. None, but the right spouts all that as fact when it is factless (feelings).
    There has been plenty of evidence of this to show the entire family has been
    on the take.

    Delaware, and now California, would disagree with you. Hunter's indictment briefs in California are leaving the door open for future charges against
    Joe's brother, too. These current indictments all involve tax fraud, but
    the briefs also mention lobbying for foreign companies without registering, which is a "no-no" and can indeed be a sign that someone is on the take.
    That is the part where Joe's brother was also involved.

    Whether they will have enough evidence to bring these future charges/ indictments remains to be seen.

    A perfect phone call you say? What was perfect about it?

    Trump's nemesis.

    They tried to impeached him over a the fake russian
    dossier which triggered the Muller along with a dozen + DemocRATS.
    Trump was acquitted from each of those impeachments.

    There was no trial. The GOP was not interested in law and order then. The same holds true today.

    Trump was convicted. That's right. A majority of Senators
    voted to convict. Unfortunately, he was not removed from office.

    No not at all, you as well as others have been suggesting that Trump is so
    bad but have not provided facts.

    Not provided facts? Are you serious?

    Both of Trump's impeachments had merit, with facts based on evidence.
    Not even Republicans bothered to question any of those facts/evidence.

    Take the "Joe Biden crime family" narrative for example. There are no
    facts to it. None, but the right spouts all that as fact when it is
    factless (feelings).
    There has been plenty of evidence of this to show the entire family has
    been
    on the take.

    There is no evidence of any of that.

    Meritless and without evidence?

    Joe Biden is guilty. He publicly admitted it himself by saying
    he loves his son. And that is a mortal sin for which he should be
    burned at the stake.

    Like I said, California thinks one of them is guilty of felonies, and is leaving the door open for future prosection against another. The whole
    family? No, but it doesn't look too good when your son is in trouble, and
    your brother is implicated, of tax evasion on foreign lobbying deals that
    your son didn't register, and you are a former Senator and current
    President whose dealings with the same countries have come into question.

    There was no conviction.
    What you FAIL to understand is that 67 votes were required to convict.
    The vote was 57 guilty to 43 not guilty.
    There were 7 votes by republicans with a guilty vote, they are known as follows.
    Richard Burr (NC) Bill Cassidy (LA) Susan Collins (ME) Lisa Murkowski (AK) Mitt Romney (UT) Ben Sasse (NE) Patrick Toomey (PA)
    All of which have committed political suicide by their vote.
    I fail to see how their people who put these clowns in Washington will agree that they should remain, next time there is a election for them to remain in Washington.
