I agree with you on the business transaction thing, though. I'm sure he's prefectly willing to pay his fine.

She not only protested the war, she went to Vietnam and blew three regiments of Viet Cong to get their spirits up. She posed for pictures on anti-aircraft guns, smiling and grab assing with the VC.

If you were getting shot at or had friends or family that had been killed in Viet Nam, wouldn't you hold a grudge if some dumb Hollywood twat posed for pictures smiling and laughing with the same men that murdered Americans, while sitting on a gun that was used to murder Americans?

People die in wars, and people have a right to protest wars, but what she did was above and beyond disloyal and unpatriotic. She went from Barbarella to Hanoi Jane, and ended her opportunity of being one of the biggest actresses of that time.

Speaking of no brains and big mouths ruining your career, I haven't heard much from the Dixie Chicks lately.

I doubt I'd hold a grude for 35 years, but I certainly would have been pissed. Still, I wouldn't have spit inher face.

Don't get me started on that one. Natalie Maines was completly idiotic to say what she said, from a PR standpoint. For being so dumb, she deserves the drop in populatlirty the Chicks have received. Still, why ANYONE would choose what music they buy based on the political views of the artist is beyond me. If I'm buying music, I'm buying it based on one thing: how good the music is. I couldn't care less about an artist's political beliefs. A musician is only good to me for one thing: music.

Similarly, wheter you agree with Tim Robbins' political beliefs or not, I should think that your opinion on him would be based on his ability to act, since that is what he is. He's an actor, and I couldn't really give a damn what he thinks about politics. I'll look to politicans for political takes. An actor is only good to me for one thing: acting.

For the record, I completly stand by your right to boycott the Chicks or Tim Robbins -- I just think it's kinda of silly, and I wouldn't do it myself. But if you want to, more power to ya.
