I can see a parallel here between me trying to moderate this group to this
Bruce discussion
as it relates to what you call "microphone abuse"
I knew that when I posted what I said below it would make me look like a
hypocrite.
When you go see a Bruce show, you aren't going to hear him pontificate for 3
hours about
politics. He may sprinkle his show with some of it, but you also get classic
songs and lot's
of great live rock and roll. Same with his recordings. It's not all politics.
Don't you think many of us here in America are upset with what's going on in
our country?
To not speak out is just being wimpy and equates to hiding your head in the
sand.
