Edwards Hears Boos at Mellencamp Concert

by Big Dog on Nov 11, 2007 at 08:35 Political

John Edwards was booed at a John Mellencamp concert after the singer paused the show to allow Edwards to come up and speak. He said a few cheesy words and there were tons of boos. Edwards made short work of the interruption and walked to a darkened corner of the stage and stayed there until the show started back up.

What a dolt. Haven’t these politicians and activist singers figured out yet that people, regardless of which political party the belong to, do not want to pay to hear the music at a concert and get an earful of politics. Politicians should pay people to listen to them, not the other way around.

Of course, given the size of John Edwards’ home, maybe he thought the song “Small Town” was about his residence.

    You should actually watch the video. A lot more cheers than boos. Even Politioc changed their story.

    The whole point is that when people pay good money to watch a concert they do not want to be bothered by any politician. The boos and requests for refunds should be an indication of that.
