I think it was a good choice to remove it.  It's funny ,that was one thing I was wondering when I heard this would be released.

  I don't know what religious affiliation that nut is with, but he does not speak for all Christians and I would say very few, if any.  I only watched the bit on the Beach Boys and he made me sick.
 to take mental illness and say you're demon possessed is irresponsible and ignorant.

  I agree with that. 
The main thing I'm saying is , it was good the Beach Boys ,no matter what there party affiliation, were able to perform for a Republican President and a Democrat President.  They put politics aside and did it.

  i'm not saying an artist can't express themselves, but when those expressions are opposing to my own beliefs, why would I buy their music?  As a listener,why would I want to hear someone bash my own beliefs in a song?
 That's just goofy.   Bruce Springsteen And John Mellencamp are two good examples of what I mean. Really loved the early stuff, but both went from" blue collar singers"  singing for the working man to so far left ,they left their fans.
  Sheryl Crow driving around in a Bio Bus telling people how to conserve energy and stop global warming.
  I wonder how much pollutants she pours into the air manufacturing CDs or travelling to concerts etc...?
  It's hard to take her music serious when you think of the one sheet of toilet paper idea ,which was not a joke as she now claims.
           
   Elvis is RULES and you know it.

     I'm really prefer  that The Beach Boys stay out of the political pit. I believe it's good they can perform at either Democrat or Republican functions and consider it an honor to do so.  It's quite clear most celebrities lean to the left here in the states.  Although, Elvis Presley when  questioned about the Vietnam war, said he was just an entertainer and his public opinion on the war was irrelevant. Dwight Yoakam when asked about his politics in the past has said that he didn't want his political views to screw the way people saw his work,but he would consider himself a libertarian.
      I lean to the right pretty hard and I can deal with one of my music heroes having some personal problems ,but the first time they bash my political or religious beliefs ,their records get dumped in the trash. I've read articles criticizing Jack White for not getting political in his music, I hope he doesn't ,anymore than the few hits here and there I've heard.
      It's hard to take any celebrity serious, conservative or liberal ,when it comes to politics. They don't live in the same environment that we average folks do. This isn't the place to get into this discussion, so I'll leave it at that.
