How are their record sales compared to before the event?

Looks like he was keeping his fingers warm for an after speech performance . . .



Meanwhile, the guy next to him is either asleep or texting . . . "sitting between really grumpy guy . . . and lady, both with really wide stance"

I suspect not as well. What does that have to do with what I said? I never said I respected them because of their sales. I respect them because they stood by their statements and took the licking. Even wrote a neat song saying they were not ready to make up. I believe that speaks of integrity more than anything else.

The guy sitting next to Nugent doesn't appear to be too impressed by Teleprompter Boi's flowery oratory, LOL .......

Apparently you and other music buyers vote with your purchase.

Integrity is in the view of the beholder, wouldn't you agree?

Wait, the Dixie Chicks erred by saying they were embarrassed by Bush? Anyone who wasn't embarrassed by Bush embarrasses themselves, mucho muy perdonnes.

I saw him enjoying himself a few times and the most recent he did go on a political rant and I didn't see anyone leave. The best part of that is no one is forced to spend (or put in a stranglehold) to spend there money to listen to him or stay if they do not like what they are hearing.

Actually I was being sarcastic. Ted does not look like a happy camper.

I don't blame him for looking like that while listening to all of that B.S. being thrown at us.

They endeared themselves to folks who mostly don't like their music and alienated the people who mostly do like their music.

Brilliant strategy.
