Well This just ruined my day!!!!
So like I've said before I'm the GM for a 1500 seat theatre in Central Illinois. This a very conservative community to the extent that it would hurt ticket sales if people knew for sure that me and my boss were as liberal as we are. We know such acts like Ted Nugent would sell out here very quickly but have pledged never to book him. We are starting up our 3rd season next month with an act that I remember enjoying as kid - Ray Stevens. You remember "The Streak", right? Well it seems funny man has turned into a serious right wing teabagging Asshole!
As I checked it out - he's got a lot of anti Obama stuff out the past few years.
This makes me want to puke!

Maybe he's in the wrong line of work in the wrong town:
if people knew for sure that me and my boss were as liberal as we are.In other words, OP wants to censor what is seen. :bird:
Crap, I somehow meant to edit my post and ended up deleting it.
Anyways, it would be a shame if his constituents found out about his political leanings that he's so afraid of them discovering.

Ray Stevens is a country singer. Name a country singer, besides the Dixie Chicks, who are liberal moonbats? If there are any, they won't come out and say it because their sales would tank. The Country fans are majorly overwhelmingly conservative.Steve Earle is a big time liberal. But I do not know how successful he has been after Copperhead Road back in the early 1990s.
It is the same with Nascar. They are majority Republican/Conservative as well..

How well has he been censoring himself ?In his eyes, it seems quite well.
Well, we'll see what the Effingham Daily News thinks about this...
In his eyes, it seems quite well.Incisive analysis.
The old free speech for me, not for thee, sort of crap.
We don't seem to mind much when they expose their beliefs.

Can anyone sum up wallduding into a nice one sentence definition? I've got a friend watching this thread.Cali

When your venture eventually fails, and it will since your political beliefs are more important to you than the needs of your market, think back on this post and despair before kicking the chair under your feet away for your final neck-stretching exercise.

Dang, that's about 130 miles from my place... upwind.
There may be something in the wind Monday morning.

The Country fans are majorly overwhelmingly conservative. You would think that with the DUmmies being so smart, he would have known that by now.
It is the same with Nascar. They are majority Republican/Conservative as well..
There's more than you think:
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
Big (but not Rich)
Garth Brooks
Hell, even Merle Haggard has said some pro-Obama things.
The only song I know of from him is 'Copperhead Road'. He was a one hit wonder. He does have a cult following, but I don't recall him stating his political beliefs?

Good catch, chica.
It looks like Rich Jorn is jornonumbers, and Janie Oldfield is the lib boss.
Wonder who's who?

He wasn't really a one-hit wonder. Copperhead Road seemed to get more heat than his previous stuff because it was somewhat cross promoted on both the country stations and rock stations. I think drugs cost him his record label after the fourth album and then things did start going down hill.
Guitar Town (the album) made it to number 1 on the US County chart.
Exit 0 made it to 15
Copperhead Road (the album) made it to 15.
All three of those albums had some great songs. More good songs, on average, than most albums being produced at the time.
His fourth album, The Hard Way, was kind of a mixed bag. I think this is when the drug use really started to catch up to him. Not long afterwards is when he went full moonbat.
Despite his moonbattiness he still can put out a good song every now and then.
I went to see him in Savannah during the Copperhead Road tour. He was good. He didn't talk politics.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are liberals. Toby Keith stated he voted for Obama in 2008. Apart from that, the list probably gets pretty thin.
So Janie Oldfield is the radical left boss, and her semi-literate leftist flunky is Rich Jorn.
I wonder if their board of directors, or trustees, or whatever they're called are as far-left politically.
I'm sure their donors, who pay all the bills, are not.
One can hope the Effingham newspaper, or at least a LTTE, will question these two moonbats, and make Effingham residents who are considering a donation aware of what's going on.

In 2009 Stevens was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame - nuff said
I usually don't let an artist's political belief keep me from listening to them. I don't recall Steve Earle ever stating his political beliefs. That is a good thing, because I go to a show to listen to an artist perform - I want to listen to the music, not listen to them tell my who to support or vote for. The second they started to do that, I would get up and walk out. Musicians should play music and shut up, and actors should play in the movies and shut up. It is a good thing I am a strong believer in the Freedom Of Speech, other wise, there would be a lot of music I wouldn't be listening to; and a lot of of movies I wouldn't be watching.
I never knew Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were liberals till I read this post. That tells me that they don't post it. I did see an interview with Toby saying that he was a democrat but switched to Republican. He was stating that the only reason he was a democrat was because his father was; and all the things that went on with the Gulf war turned him republican. He also said that he will never be voting Democrat again.

Toby Keith is 100% Dem. So are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Toby is a registered independent. He supports the USA. He has grown up

Longtime Democrat Toby Keith is registering to vote as an independent and says the left wing's verbal attacks against Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin could lead to a win for John McCain in November, the singer-songwriter said Thursday (Oct. 2) in an interview with CMT.com.
^^ Ray Stevens didn't write that Video. I wonder where those morons get their information from?
Sugarland are liberals.
Taylor Swift is a huge democrat.
Sugarland also said that the plaintiff's claims were caused by "an open and obvious danger," adding that some or all of the plaintiff's injuries "resulted from their own fault."

Aw, he removed it. What's the matter, Jorno67?
I'm guessing that Jorno got a PM from somebody. LOL

Well, DUmpmonkey Journonumbers was easily identified as a moonbat named Rich Jorn.
His boss, who he claims is as nutty a moonbat as himself, is a woman named Janie Oldfield.
I believe the wallduding information was forwarded to the Effingham newspaper.
Ray Stevens Productions, the publicist, and the booking agent were notified, as well.
Toby Keith is 100% Dem. So are Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
Political beliefs
Since 2002, Keith has made numerous trips to the Middle East to bring entertainment and encouragement to US men and women serving on or near the front lines. “My father was a soldier. He taught his kids to respect veterans,†said Keith. “It’s that respect and the thank-you that we have a military that’s in place and ready to defend our nation; our freedom.â€
In 2004, Keith called himself "a conservative Democrat who is sometimes embarrassed for his party". He endorsed the re-election of President George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election and performed at a Dallas, Texas, rally on the night before the election. Keith also endorsed Democrat Dan Boren in his successful run in Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district and is good friends with former Democratic New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. In a January 2007 interview with Newsday, Keith was asked whether he supported the Iraq War. He responded with "Never did," and said he favors setting a time limit on the campaign. He also said, "I don't apologize for being patriotic... If there is something socially incorrect about being patriotic and supporting your troops, then they can kiss my ass on that, because I'm not going to budge on that at all. And that has nothing to do with politics. Politics is what's killing America."
Keith performs for the troops at the O'Callahan's Cantina at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, on May 31, 2006.
In April 2008, Keith said that Barack Obama "looks like a great speaker and a great leader. And I think you can learn on your feet in there, so I don't hold people responsible for not having a whole bunch of political background in the House and Senate." At the same time he remarked, "I think [John] McCain is a great option too." In August 2008, he called Obama "the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton".
In October 2008, Keith told CMT that he had left the Democratic Party and has re-registered as an independent. "My party that I've been affiliated with all these years doesn't stand for anything that I stand for anymore," he says. "They've lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in. So I'm going independent." He also told CMT that he would likely vote for the Republican ticket, partially because of his admiration for Sarah Palin.
In March 2009, Keith received the Johnny "Mike" Spann Memorial Semper Fidelis Award during a New York ceremony held by the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. The trophy is named for the CIA operative (and former Marine Corps captain) who was the first U.S. casualty in the war in Afghanistan. "Spending time with our soldiers around the world is something I've always regarded as a privilege and honor," he said. "I'm certainly happy to accept this award, but I won't forget for a second who's really doing the heavy lifting to keep this country safe. And that's why I'll keep going back and spending time with those good folks every chance I get."
In April 2009, he voiced support for Obama on Afghanistan and other decisions: "He hired one of my best friends who I think should run for president someday...Gen. James Jones as a national security adviser. He's sending troops into Afghanistan, help is on the way there. And I'm seeing some really good middle range stuff. I'm giving our commander in chief a chance before I start grabbing. So far, I'm cool with it."
