Glenn Beck is "Only For Now" in Avenue Q Tour — Page 3

"Musicsnob, to be honest with you I do think that you're incorrect about one thing. And, that is the whole notion that people would react the same way in New York if they used a liberal's name in that song. They wouldn't. No matter where you're from, New York is known for being a very liberal state. And, there I can't even begin to tell you the number of stories I have heard about the Bush line getting different reactions from city to city during the show's first national tour. "

That is EXACTLY what we're saying. That the REASON the lyrics received such warm reception is because of the fact that Broadway is the most liberal of the liberal elite. Of course it was going to get a great reaction from the crowd.

The idea BEHIND the lyrics is that problems in government will always persist. Regardless of who the President is. Even Obama. And keep in mind, I am a bleeding heart Democrat, left wing nutcase, who proudly voted for and proudly still support Obama.

The line got applause when I saw the tour, and this was in a very Republican area.

MusicSnob,


I feel that I am viewing this a little differently then you are. I feel that Obama is coming into his first full year in office. I fee that it is hard to judge what promises he has made and kept and those that he didn't. Only because there is more time left on the clock. I wouldn't call his presidency a failure by any means because there is still time to for him to do that which he has promised. Or at least some of it.

So, I don't consider him to be a flip flopper because there is still more time on the clock and the game isn't over yet so to speak.

I also feel that this so called rockstar vision people have of him is one that is getting them more annoyed when they aren't getting taken care of when they wish to be. I think that people wouldn't be so upset nor would he be so scrutinized if that fantasy of him weren't around.

I definitely read "Glenn Close" instead of "Glenn Beck" just now.

I didn't mind your "conservative propoganda". I was actually enjoying this discussion immensly.
