Default Re: Sean Penn to play Harvey Milk in film

I was living in southern Georgia when the Chixie Dicks became famous.
I never liked their singing. And my neighbor (and these were BIG lots with plenty of room to keep to yourself) made it her business to give a "Commercial Poultry"

concert EVERY Saturday morning! So if I was ever remotely interested in finding out what their music was all about-that killed it right there. Much later I did hear a song one of them did about a soldier and I really liked it. But I still think the only thing their band needs is a good singer.

Then, like turning off a water faucet, people all over America quit buying their records.
I guess they felt strongly about the war and George Bush or they wouldn't have made statements. And I believe in freedom of speech. But what did they expect? Their core listeners were mostly conservative and if nothing else very patriotic.
But dramatic actors appeal to a wide range of types. I'm not sure there is a formula for people who watch Sean Penn ilk films.
And remember gays are a diverse group. Some are men. Some are women. Some are conservative in every other way but gay rights. If we believe Senator Craig is really a closet homosexual, then we can deduce some gays are against gay rights.
So I'm assuming gays are as diverse in their thoughts on boycotts.
