I wish more artists would shut up about their political views, whether they be from the left or the right. I'm tired of entertainers taking my money, and then instead of entertaining me, lecturing me like a child about the state of the world. The worst part is, most of these self appointed critics don't actually do anything about the issues they care about, such as running for office or lobbying the current elected officials because they've convinced themselves that they are doing something by enlightening the uninformed masses. Having said all of this, I do think that everybody, including artists are entitled to their opinions, but as a consumer of entertainment I just wish they would leave me out of it. I would certainly get fired if I used my job to forward my political beliefs. Dan Hutchins
