yes.... but Bon Jovi shouldn't. For somebody like Springsteen, or Dylan, who are poets, and the political side is important, that's great. But rock music is the ultimate leveler. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are, rock music is for everybody, and is something that everybody can enjoy. Just look at the Moscow Peace festival! It was rock music that came in, because it didn't have a political agenda, and it could unite these two sides in some way. Politics for me need to be left out of rock music. Of cource bands will have their privite feelings, but they should be kept privite. A musican should be for everybody, by taking political stands they are issolating certain fans, and bringing views, and politics into something that is just about the opposite of all that!
