#1 I paid to see you sing a song little monkey, perform for me, and keep your halfwitted opinions to yourself while you're on my dime.

#2 Two words for you, Don, Joe F'ing Walsh.. Ironic how Leary's rant against Henley from years ago still rings true....

#3 Henley responded: "Whoops âOrange County," adding, "We used to be able to have civil debate in this country. Not anymore."

Cool! An open mike debate at a concert.

Wait a minute.

You're telling me there was no open mike and therefore no debate? A captive audience who paid YOU to sing, but you mention a debate, but no open mike??

So I guess Henley is right. There is no debating leftists when their idea of a debate is to pontificate about their views to a captive audience who paid to see something entirely different.

Henley just told an egregious lie. Perhaps someone should ask these entertainer clowns if they would pay hard earned money to hear a leftist jerk off about their politics. I wouldn't.

#4 Nah, Don. Orange County's got nothing to do with it. When you make your yearly publicity stunt tour to Mass. to "save" Walden Woods, most people here think you're an out of town Hollywood asshole poking his nose in where it don't belong too. But I suppose we could have a civil debate over it.

#6 Shut up and sing, and I will give you your coke money. Inflict your politics on me, and I take my money to the next nostalgia act that comes to town.

#7 I think we are seeing the death of celebrity worship.

#8 Amen, badanov. How funny that Henley (whose music I do like) says we used to have civil debate-like he was going to do anything other than cast aspersions on the Bush administration. The left only insults and slanders, which we are to to swallow without thought or question. I said it before, I'll say it again-they think their freedom of speech is our obligation to believe. Nonsense.

#9 According to the Register, Henley responded: "Whoops âOrange County," adding, "We used to be able to have civil debate in this country. Not anymore."

Wrong answer. A CONCERT is not a forum for "civil debate". If that's what Henley wanted, he'd do well to organize a round table discussion at some local Ramada Inn or Marriot's or something.

#10 Let's face it - showbiz people are flakes. If I'm not going to take my politics from a doctor, a physicist or a lawyer, I'm certainly not going to take it from a showbiz personality.

#11 "Life in the fast lane, don't it make you lose your mind"

Why, yes. Yes it does. Good to see my ol stomp'n grounds "still has the jive to survive among the heroes and villians"

#12 Singers like Streisand, Ronstadt, and Henley have acoustics where their brains are supposed to be.
