Thanks Warren

Posted in Gov't Mule Band Info 2 months ago, 19 replies

Thanks for alienating half your fans Warren. Your fundraising for Obama has made it impossible for me to support your band. When did you become a Socialist?

On the contrary, I'm very impressed that he stood up to express his beliefs in spite of the risk of alienating fans. Thanks for supporting Obama, Warren!

I'm with you Vince. Obama wants to spread the wealth by taking from those that have been successful.

People that are excited about Obama need to stop, and think for a second. Under Obama its far more than likely that the company you work for is going to be paying higher taxes which means your chances are much higher that you'll lose your job. The increase in income tax isn't even the worst part. Obama's plan to increase FICA withholding (social security) is so harsh it will certainly cause employeer to eliminate workers in an effort to avoid this massive additional burden.

No economy has ever been improved by increasing taxes. Enjoy your $500 check Lisa. I wish you luck with keeping your job

What a bunch of BS. Jobs are already in jeopardy due to the Bush assault on the middle class. Having fewwer jobs and a lower standard of living like the worst tax increase imaginable.

I'm going to get hit with the Obama taxes more than anyone and I am hally about it. I can afford it. 95% of the country can't.

Get a grip. Stop being so greedy.

Everybody just needs to vote their conscience as best they can. It's time for the national pastime of arguing to stop already; believers need to pray, and let's try to get along with each other better and stop trying to convince everyone to see things our own way.

Let the music do the talking, and let the Mule be the Mule. Enjoy the cool fall breezes, y'all!

You call it arguing? Jeez. Simple debate. No more. And it shouldn't stop. Not during election season. Its healthy. Nobody is calling anyone names here BigMikey. I'm not trying to convince anyone to agree with me. I am simply stating the problems I see in Obama. If someone stops and thinks "Hmm. Yes. Thats right. Success shouldn't be punished." Great. If not. No problem.

How you feel Lisa if Warren played at a Sarah Palin fudraiser?

I wasn't replying to you specifically, Jim. I had the overall national debate in mind.

I guess my main point is I'd to think that the Mule is more important than politics, and the music itself serves as a diversion from trying to keep up with who's right and who's wrong in Washington, DC. I guess it's gotten old for me, and I can't wait for it to be over and done.

I also wish Letterman would stop being so political as well. Let the comedy ensue, don't go off on Bush and the Repubs all the dang time.

None of your opinions matter pro or con. Warren does what ever he chooses. This is still a free country.

"This is still a free country."

Which is why we are free to discuss it and disagree. Thanks for the reminder of our freedom of speech though.

Useless comment.

Of course you're free to discuss it. And Warren is free to support whom ever he wants privately or publicly.

I say let Warren speak his mind. Freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of choice. It's what makes our country great.

I have friends on both side of the political divide, I hope we all do, and I respect everyone's right to their views.

Warren supporting Obama, no surprise, when I saw him last I was surprised to hear him call George Bush a killer, in his Neil Young song Cortez. After seeing Neil play in CSNY and hearing his peacnik songs, I have not been able to sell my current tickets I have to his outrageously priced show here. I luckily do not have that problem with Warren. I love yah Warren but keep the peacenik crap to yourself. Long live the free, thanks to the USA. Thanks coming from a Canadian that truly loves his neighbors and what they stand for. Cheers

If you're alienated by Warren's supporting Obama, or if you're upset by the "peacenik" stuff, then I think you may be happier listening to Toby Keith or something else as equally awful and blindly jingoistic. This kind of thing is inherent in the spirit of this type of music, and is evident in the songs Warren writes. Perhaps read some of the lyrics sometime, and you'll understand why he would support Obama. And by the way, this whole socialist thing is just ludicrous. Do yourself a favor and develop some thoughts of your own instead of spewing the nonsense Limbaugh and OReilly feed you. Taxes of any kind are inherently "spreading the wealth". If you want to call Obama socialist, then by your definition, so is Bush...only he would be a socialist benefiting the wealthy. The last time there was this big of a disparity between the wealthy and the middle class was 1929...right before the great depression. This is obviously not good for anyone...including the rich. Bush and the republicans have been systematically strangling the middle class, and without a healthy middle class, the entire economy tanks.

If anyone wanted to support Obama they should have supported his fundraising on their on time. What a disappointment Warren for all the money I have spent seeing your shows and getting you to your celebrity status. You could have put that money to so many more beeter uses. Never would have though you were such a sell out. You could have your freedom of speech without trying to make it your fans also. I'm sure Woody would be PROUD!!!!!!!!

hey tool box what does his personal political bevief have to do with you listening or supporting his band ? do you like the music or not ? stop being a cry baby cause the whole world doesnt think just like you !!!! he has worked hard and is fortunite enough where more people hear and are influenced by it hes earned it just cause its not the same thing you think ? would you liten to his music if all song were the same ?

Toolbox I am not the one promoting a fundraiser. So yes, when Warren has a concert that he takes my money, probably not even your money, and anyone else’s money that supports him-THE MULE and uses it to support his political beliefs, that is the problem. So tell me how I am the one trying to make the world think like me. What I think is all that matters, I'm not the one trying to get people to support my belief by listening to me. Yes Warren has gotten very far only because people belive in him. Supporting him and Obama are two diffent levels. Do I like the music or not, what a stupid question? The question is, " Why are toolboxes like you listening to it???????
