Witnessing MAGAts go after CONSERVATIVE Country Music star Martina McBride is stupefying.

6. She's being COMPARED TO The Dixie Chicks, simply as the result of canceling her appearance.

I'd say your take on her is accurate.

We have a broad spectrum in our own party, from progressive to conservative.

I'm one of those people who feels that artists are entitled to their beliefs and political leanings without having to "pledge allegiance" to any one extreme.

This clip has French subtitles, but the audio is in English. A reporter tried to get Elvis to speak out on Vietnam. He said that he preferred to keep his views on that to himself.

I've been a Springsteen fan since the second album (didn't like the first one at all, thought it tried too hard to be Bob Dylan word salad).

But I DO applaud his outspoken, principled take on Trump.

So I think artists need to make that decision on their own, and not as the result of public pressure. Be a part of the conversation or stay out of it, and no one should be able to pressure them into something they know is not right for them.
