All of the other arguments, tangents, and deflections are just typical P&R forum fluff..

For what it is worth, I don't agree with the "liberal" musicians trying to do an ad hoc boycott of the inauguration and making veiled threats to those participating.

I can agree with you on that count.

And of course we have to have arguments, tangents and deflections. What else would we have to talk about here?

Is the girl any good? I have no idea, but I'm not winning to say no simply because she has been invited to sing at the Inogiration. Seems more like something bitter ols men would do.

BTW Justin Beiber is very talented. Not my type of music, but that is beside the point. 

I never suggested that she wasn't good. I did say that she had to be better than Miley Cirus (but then again, Tiny Tim was better than Miley Circus). Your reading something into what I said that wasn't there. I'm merely stating my opinion: I'd much rather people buy my work because it is good and not because of any political affiliation. For all I know, she may even agree with that (which would be really cool ).

We disagree about the Beibs level of talent. But hey, if you dig his jams then more power to ya, bro. :andy:
