Shut Up And Sing, Hoosier, And Stop The Anti Trump Rants
Shut Up And Sing, Hoosier, And Stop The Anti Trump Rants
People pay to come to rock concerts to hear their music, not to hear political speech. Hard to believe someone from the heartland got so coopted.

Hope the people can get their money back.
How do these people not know not to alienate 50% or more of their audience? I say more than 50% because people are being intimidated.

Same asshole who cut a Toledo show early because he was interrupted while storytelling.
I don’t go to concerts as much as I used to, but I prefer if they just stick to playing music. I don’t care much for long-winded stories, political or otherwise.

Re: Shut Up And Sing, Hoosier, And Stop The Anti Trump Rants
I find this Hee-Larry-Us coming from a West Michigan social media website. In my humblest of opinion, this area has by far the worst audience behavior I've ever had the displeasure of being part of. Not surprisingly many artists reactions are less than model as well.
I used to really enjoy attend Meijer Garden concerts but tired of the rudeness of the audience who seemed much more interested in chatting about who was fucking who in the neighborhood than listening to an artist at work. Again, no surprise when folks like Ray LaMontagne and a female folk singers whose name alludes me right now had to come out and say STFU or I'm leaving.
Y'all are in no position to say squat about artist or audience behavior.

This was the Toledo show.. I believe the ticket buying public needs to be treated better than this, but this is not a second incident. I guess there was a WaPo interview (that I can't find) where he tried to excuse his behavior at that show...Chrocket87 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:18 pmSame asshole who cut a Toledo show early because he was interrupted while storytelling.

Apparently, John Denver had some problems there also. He wrote a derogatory song about Toledo.FakeAndyStuart wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 4:32 pmThis was the Toledo show..

Thank you for the correction. I thought he was referring to a different show.FakeAndyStuart wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 4:32 pmThis was the Toledo show..

Re: Shut Up And Sing, Hoosier, And Stop The Anti Trump Rants
It's a pit.A famous singer who is now room temperature wrote:Saturday night in toledo, ohio, is like being nowhere at all
All through the day how the hours rush by
You sit in the park and you watch the grass die
Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight
When shadows of night start to fall
They roll back the sidewalks precisely at ten
And people who live there are not seen again

With a few exceptions, i agree with FakeAndyStewaet. I’m so glad I moved away from there after graduating from UT a bit more than a decade ago.
Re: Shut Up And Sing, Hoosier, And Stop The Anti Trump Rants
As much as I'll get flamed for this, I was a little disappointed the last time I seen B.B.King. It was about a year before he passed so maybe all the reminiscing should of been overlooked by me. More back in the day stories than tunes.Chrocket87 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:18 pmI don’t go to concerts as much as I used to, but I prefer if they just stick to playing music.

One thing of note. It was at the Fox. A fight broke out in the audience. King and the band just kept playing and talking while the brawl was in session.
Re: Shut Up And Sing, Hoosier, And Stop The Anti Trump Rants
This is nothing new. Musicians have been using concerts for political reasons for years.
