Funny... I saw and heard a completely different reaction to the ''Rooster'' video from my vantage point. And as far as not wanting to pay to hear or see somebody's political views, I'm sure that we all unknowingly do so as lyrics are written from one (or a few) person's point of view but are interpreted in each of our minds as they relate to our experiences and beliefs. Maybe it's just easier too ignore if it's not stated as plainly as ''Bush Lied''. Too bad you let this one thing ''ruin'' the show for you though, especially since no matter where you stand on the war issue our soldiers are supposedly there fighting to preserve our Constitutional rights, one of which is free speech.

Well, of course you did.  It was Asheville.  Need I say more?

No one said AIC didn't have the right to express them, as ignorant as their position may be.  Sorry, I never saw crap like that at any other concert I've been to so I was disappointed.  I came to be entertained, not preached to.  Free speech is great but it doesn't insulate anyone from criticism or disagreement.
