If a musician wants to do a political show, they shouldn't charge people to listen to their opinions--unless those opinions are clearly represented in their music and the opinions are part of the act. I also think it's a bad move on the part of a musician to use their stage to express their political views: look at the backlash Natalie Maines and the Dixie Chicks are getting.
