true beauty?
what liberties?

I wonder how many theatres are going to refuse to show the documentary Shut Up & Sing. Just as country radio stations across the country refused to play the Dixie Chicks’s music after Maines spoke her political mind during a concert in 2003 I can imagine theatres doing the same with this documentary. It’s a shame that the thing we’re supposedly fighting for in Iraq - freedom/liberty/inserttalkingpointhere - isn’t even realized here in the good ‘ol U. S. of A. (Or are you going to try and tell me that a radio station’s refusal to play their music is also a “freedom of speech”?)
Some of you will argue that celebs should keep their mouths shut when it comes to politics. I get that. I get that because there are people who I wish wouldn’t speak on matters of faith. But in the end, we should realize that we can’t and shouldn’t force people to keep quiet.
Will you give Shut Up & Sing a look? Let the discussion begin!
