DKW 86 7,440 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193901,00.html Hey, these folks finally do get the repulsiveness of the ultimate Material Girl. Finally, someone on the Left rejects Limousine Liberalism! I bet half of Hollyweird is now on their psychoanalysts' couch after this. Madonna: No Woodstock GirlIf you ever wondered whether or not Madonna would have been a welcome performer at Woodstock, here’s the answer: No. Madonna performed over the weekend at the Coachella Valley Music Festival in California, a famously Sixties-like music event where fans and performers mingle and everyone has a good time. How do they expect a Hollywood Liberal to mingle with the Proletariat? Does this even sound like something our Madonna should have gotten herself involved in? Madonna? With the (PHONY) Brit accent, the (PHONY) facelifts and the (BOURGEOUSIE)servants? And so it was that Madonna was roundly booed by the Coachella audience after showing up late on stage in a small tent. She then performed only six songs really that no one has much affection for-- "Hung Up," "Get Together," "I Love New York," "Ray Of Light (2006 Version)," "Let It Will Be (Paper Faces Mix)," and "Everybody (2005 Version)." She slagged George Bush in one of them, but that’s to be expected. Don’t forget, she tossed him a live grenade in a video a couple of years ago. ... And the impact has been felt on the Coachella message board, where Madonna’s reviews from the fans have been decidedly negative. As one wrote: “Anyone that shows up wearing $10,000 fake eyelashes to an arts festival, you know is mocking you already. But on the brightside, I was gonna decide on buying tix to her tour based on her performance sunday. Thanx Madonna for saving me cash.†Hey, this guy gets it!

AURaptor 1,126 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 At the very least, people are tired of paying top $$ for their concerts and then hearing the 'artist' bring up politics. Shut up and sing, as Laura Ingraham's book is titled,. I guess it sums up most everyone's attitude. When folks go to a concert, they want to be entertained, and not preached to. This wasn't an anti-war rally. This wasn't a anti Bush rally, it was a friggin concert, where folks go to hear good music and try to feel good about things, if only for a while. When artist bring in real world issues such as politics, they're working well outside their area of expertise. The fans don't care for it. Even hippie liberal fans in California. They want to party some, and forget the the price they paid for the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietfan 233 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I suspect most of the actual booing at the concert had more to do with showing up late and performing a short lousy set than any political comment. The crowd would have probably been upset at any artist (and rightly so) that treated them with so little respect, regardless of the artist's politics.

When the music sucks so badly, I guess it's good to have your attention drawn away from it. The eyes giving the ears a break, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
