I wouldn't call it censorship. It doesn't even fit into the same category. Did the government step in and tell her not to say something or else she would face consequences? Nope. She chose to politicize her concert, and the owners of the venue chose not to accept it.

Interesting..
I never mentioned the government, but she was still being censored by the concert people who closed it down..
Personally, I'd be pissed if I got fired for telling people to go see a movie, political or not.
Would you accept being fired for this.. ?

"Ms Ronstadt was hired to entertain the guests of the Aladdin, not to espouse her political views. In an effort to defuse the situation, Linda Ronstadt was asked to leave the property immediately following her performance,"

This is a non issue.

Politics = Entertainment
In the U.S. at least.. and Michael Moore is a entertaining mofo, at least to people with a non-biased point of view.

And this is a argument to shut down her show.. ?
It's funny how hot-headed some people get when the name Michael Moore is brought up, it's obvious that he hit some vital nerves..

I wouldn't be stupid enough to make remarks like that. If I was an entertainer, I'd do just that: entertain. People don't like me for my political views, they like me for my songs.

Did you just say Michael more was Un-biased?
Have you even seen his movie? Have you seen any of his movies? Moor himself admits he's one of the most biased people out there.

If the Alladin felt it was going to hurt their busienss, and obviously it was cause people were getting upset, it was great decision to make.

Don't misquote me, I said Moore is entertaining, not that he is non-biased.
I have seen his movies, he's pretty funny.. I'd also say he's so idealistic that it makes him biased, but that's good in one way imo.. he stands for what he believes in.

Fine, but you still can't say it's not censorship..
If a couple had sex on stage (like a couple did in Norway some weeks ago), and they were taken off stage, that would also be censorship because some people didn't like it.. wouldn't it.. ?

Calm down, MTV censored it, not his record company.
I NEVER said that the government censored it, you Americans take everything to heart.
