No NIN
by Sean Hackbarth
What do politically opinionated celebrities do they don’t get their way? They quit. Trent Reznor pulled his band Nine Inch Nails out of the MTV Movie Awards because the music channel wouldn’t let them perform in front of a picture of President Bush. Reznor, in language fit for an arrogant psudo-intellectual, said, “Apparently, the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me.” Please. More likely MTV was worried the Bush-hating Reznor would do something with the image causing negative publicity to drop on the network.
Michele isn’t boycotting NIN. Good.
“Nine Inch Nails Drops MTV Show over Bush Backdrop”
Yeah.
I don’t get my politics from the music I listen to, the movies I watch, the books I read, or the pop I drink.
