Sorry for the separate post here but I have not yet figured out how too
reply otherwise...
I think this deal with Sinead is a load of hypercritical crap! :-)
So she has a problem listening to the American national anthem? Do you
think she has the SAME problem receiving or spending American CURRENCY???
Kates ability at avoiding this kind of garbage is one of the reasons
I have been a devoted fan since '78!

Hello there fellow Love-Hounds--
The current Sinead controversy has hit close to home here in the
Capital District area in New York, and so I decided to throw in my
typical two cents' worth. Sinead is scheduled to play at Saratoga
Perfomring Arts Center (affectionately known to locals as SPAC) on
September 2, and there have been recent rumours of her show being
cancelled and/or banned because of her refusal to have the national
anthem played in New Jersey. What I basically have to say about
this whole thing is that it's pretty ridiculous; as many others have
said, I can't ever remember attending a rock concert at which the
national anthem was played. Sports events, yes...concerts, no. So
I don't see what the big stink is about Sinead's refusal to have the
anthem played; why should she be treated differently than any other
performer??
That's it for now....
All the best,
Deb WentorfLove-Hounds-request@GAFFA.MIT.EDU (08/28/90)

As I understand it, Sinead doesn't allow ANY national
anthems, including her own, to be played before her concerts,
just on GP.

P.S. This is my SECOND attempt at posting a message. On my
first attempt, I followed all the instructions on my
handy-dandy introduction form letter, but to no avail. How
come some folks get their messages posted TWICE, and I can't
get a word in edgewise?! :-(Love-Hounds-request@GAFFA.MIT.EDU (08/28/90)
Really-From: kilmer@cs.rutgers.edu (Hank) It is custom at the particular arena that this controversy is over for the anthem to be played. It is played there at _every_ concert or event. That is why there is a controversy. Notice I didn't give my opinion on the matter...... -- Henry W. Kilmer kilmer@aramis.rutgers.edu :-)

She said that her decision was due in part to the "disgraceful" pro-war sentiments widely displayed at last week's American Music award show. "Don't drive too slowly."
