that is true. But still, he's bringing in an issue that divides people. Some people will be offended by his views, and thus he's alianating himself from them. OK, maybe some peole don't see war as that controversial an issue, but if I was at a concert an Jon was singing a pro war song, I'd be very offended, and would hate it. What if Jon talks about hating Jews, or Black people? Is it right for him to bring this up in a concert, where there are going to be people who find this opinion offensive? Like I said, I think that rock music is a great leveler. I dont' know what happened to Jon, because in the past he's always said he keeps his own political views and beliefs for himself, friends and family. This is the reason why he was allowed into The USSR to do the Moscow Peace festival, only because he kept these beliefs to himself. If he'd ahve started to air his beliefs on communism, and the cold war, then he would have been banned.
