Aren't there musicians whose banning from America would be a better idea?

Courtney Love comes to mind. Any member of a boy-band could be considered an audio-terrorist and should be taken away immediately to a secure location.

I believe the ex-members of the Spice Girls are banned from travelling to the U.S. already.

Who else?

Michael Stipe from REM would be a good candidate.

The Ditzy Twits.

Now, I am willing to make an exception for Bruce Springsteen, but only if, in exchange for my personal promise not to sing in public, he promises to keep his political ideas to himself.

Every boy band member. Every single one.

Michael Jackson.

Most rappers.

Sweden, dude, Sweden, not Norway. The best metal is from Sweden.

And I think all the problems with Metallica sucking would all stop if we all chipped in and bought them a couple hundred cases of Jagermeister.

No, I remember it was you. Something about a huge uproar over the region of Ireland if I remember correctly. Perhaps you didn't get deleted. Obviously you didn't get deleted. Oh well, I was wrong.

Why don't you have your original nation resurrected?

Post a request at the Getting Help page (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/96293/page=help), under "Other". Be sure to include the name of the nation you want resurrected, and they'll get to it relatively quickly. Last nation I had resurrected took about a week. They'll restore it with the old password, so hopefully you know that.

nah, theyd be fine if they went to Boston for a while and hung around with some proper metal bands, they wouldnt have to go to Europe. Maybe they should tour supporting Killswitch, that'll learn em.

well if we are refering to all the americas... I would say some of those "dance house" groups. I think thats the type of music. from the caribean. The music is extremely homophobic.

Dude, Norway owns. Emperor, Immortal, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Burzum, Gorgoroth, Satyricon, 1349, Ulver, Zyklon... I could go on. Sweden has.. erm... Dissection.

I think you stand corrected.

Meatloaf should be banned everywhere!

He's not that bad, but I used to get woken up in the morning all the time by my landlord playing Meatloaf, and I now have an irrational hatred of him.

I don't think I'd ever ban someone because of their political views--I mean, Darryl Worley's got to make a living somewhere right?--but politics aside, if I never hear another song from anyone described as a "pop princess," I'll be just fine.

Entertainers are not allowed to express their political views?

Do they give up the right to "freedom of speech" when they become public figures?

Only in America?

undefined Okay, let's see... Get rid of teeny-boppers, Metallica, almost all country, all of the current rappers, anything with a bible-thumper theme, Celine Dion, and OH! Barney! I can't stand that "I love you" crap (I have 3 kids). Mariah Carrey can stay cuz she's got a nice rack, but get her a mute button.

I have such a groovy list :D

To get more of my weird and twisted views, please email me at akchic@gmail.com

They are hired to entertain by singing, or acting, or getting kicked in the balls, not to whine about how mean Bush/Kerry is. Example here would be Al Franken, who should be smacked in the forehead with a two by four by a burly man named "Charles" (not "Dave", "Charles" needs the work; "Dave" is just a dick) until he agrees to get off politics and return to actually being funny. Calling people "fat" and "stupid" isn't funny, isn't original, isn't mature, and doesn't require anyone with half a wit. I can do better than his latest crap.

But then they'll just become even more angsty because they've been banned and they'll write more music. No the trick is to pump them full of happy pills, change them into leisure suits, and then keep them in ale and whores for the rest of their imaginable existence.

Or make it MUCH easier and just get them addicted to ska.

Nothing kills emo like The Aquabats ;)

And you sir, have the right not to hire them if you choose not too. Ahhh "freedom", I think this word must mean something different in the Republicon dictionary?

BTW, I suppose Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ronald Reagan never had a political slant during their acting careers? :eek:

Actually, and hree's the thing, if they keep the two of them seperate, all is fine. If you keep a solid and unyielding line between when you sing, do stand-up, act like a monkey, and when you do punditry, all is well. That's the freedom bit, if you do an interview for People and talk about how bad Bush/Kerry is, I really don't care because I should know going into it that its just going to be a rant. Its the same way I feel about nudity, you have to give people a fair warning before whipping out your schlong. That way, those who see it were either:
Too Stupid to look away and had it coming OR
Wanted to see it
And we can all be happy.

BTW, I suppose Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ronald Reagan never had a political slant during their acting careers? :eek:
I could bring up the fact that both of them stopped acting when they went political. I might also mention the fact that neither one of them pretended that they didn't assume they knew half a damn thing more than I do just because they can fool people into believing that they actually know how to sing.

Ban no form of expression, ever.

As long as it's harmless of course.

Whilst Britney and Madonna are still clogging up MTV we don't need to worry about Michael Stipe. He actually sings!

But none of those are musicians.
