Now they are going to record what they want, how they want. I think that is awesome.

That's not the way I see it. I see, "I am going to shout in the wind and nobody can stop me." Which, of course, is correct.

Its not their political opinion that bothers me the most. Its that they have a huge megaphone to yell their opinions into and they do so. Over and over again. Is this really a necessity? Do I always have to be informed of what their opinions are? Why the hell should I care(or have to listen to) WHAT they think? Just play the damned music and vote for who you want in November.

What gets my goat about a lot of these hollywood celebrities is that they seem to think that their opinion is more important or more valid than mine. Such arrogance.
