He's a rapper. It's playing to his core       audience. What he can't do is to go on TV and say that Rodney King "got       what he deserved". What the Chicks did is the country equivalent.              --       "Having the right to do something does not mean that doing it is right"       - William Safire              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
