Message to Hollyweird, the music industry and the arts community; put a sock in it! We don't care adn we aren't paying for tickets to hear what you think.

'Hamilton' stars give Mike Pence a message

Look; I'm all for the First Amendment "right of free speech." I'm all for the ability to citizens to dissent all they want so long as it's within the law and within the rules of polite society.

But I, for one, would sure as hell love for all the actors, singers, artists and who knows what that make their living plying their arts for the public who pay good money to watch them act, sing, dance or view their paintings or sculptures to just shut the hell up about politics and world affairs.

I, for one, don't give a rip what they think about Republicans, Christians, Apartheid, saving the whales or any other political or social anything. I'm not paying for your CD, to see your movie or play or to see your paintings or sculptures just to hear your discontent about the world situation, the plight of the animal community, the influence of the Church on society or anything else.

So, shut up why don't ya? Just sing, dance, act, paint or sculpt and keep it at that. I don't buy a ticket to shove my opinions on you and I expect the same respect from you. I do not - let me reiterate that - I definitely DO NOT shell out money to see you ply your trade only to have you seize the bully pulpit and shove you views on things down my throat.
