 What's sad
is that
the poster who
originated this thread
is gone

A member
of content
and insight
for quite a while
and now
he is unmentioned
like kindling
before a warm fire.

I disagree with the idea that we should only talk about Patti, her music,  
setlists, etc.  She is very political and provocative in her music, and the  way 

she talks with audiences at times, for example urging them to vote.   And 
what do you think "People Have the Power" is?  An anthem for athletes,  lol?  
Although it actually could be that, in the sense that we all have the  power to 
do what is important to us. However, I think the main message  of PHTP is  we 
have the power to change our world- we just have to get  up, take action, and 
open our mouths to do it- a very political stance,  IMHO.
 
Patt's unfortunate support for Nader is just as valid to me for discussion  
as might be the setlist at Lincoln Center, a new album, etc.  As I said in  a 
previous post, it's hard for me to reconcile my love of Patti as an artist  
with her support of Nader, who I think is a spoiler, and is too intelligent not  

to know it. For that matter, so is Patti.
