Well……it seems those same superdelegates
who think the Kosovo bullet dodging Hillary is the
best candidate to run against McCain also think
Sheryl is better equipped than Alicia Keys- even
though Alicia is leading in pledged pre sales
of her next album and overall record sales. I hope
that you,Lindsey,and the rest of the band have not become
so old, tired and filled with fear to stand up
to the pressure of the old school back room
political machine of the major record labels
and do the right thing for a positive change and
join the will of the people. Remember the unofficial
theme of the Clinton presidency? That’s right-
it was your own “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow”.
It’s scary to think of the depth and reach of this
Clinton machine and what they will do to achieve
thier goals.Lindsey——please don’t succumb
to this trick-you are smarter and better than they are.
Find someone else with some integrity. History
has shown that you have earned yours so
don’t blow it now.We need people like you to stand up
and help change the world for the good of all-
not just Sheryl Crow or the Clintons.

I think that maybe Sheyrl could have been thinking about all the negative people posting to sites like this when she wrote “God Bless This Mess.” As in the sixties, the music today can stir emotions and move people to positive action to make things better.
Just the fact that Wal-mart banned Sheryl’s album ought to be enough to make the masses stand up and let the store feel the pain of a boycott, if not against the entire store, at least against their music department.
Wal-mart has the right not to sell Sheryl’s music, but the people also have the right to purchase their music from other sources.
America will never be great again until the poeple of the country are willing to make their wishes known in the streets of the nations town and cities, then make their wishes known in the booth with the vote.

In America and in Rolling Stone’s history people (Musicians) are free to protest WAR. So…go to church and pray that you get the inspired to THINK for yourself rather than be programed by someone else.

Since when are young and dumb the demographics for Rolling Stone Magazine? Do you actually think Rolling Stones Values are or have been based on Pro-War anthems. Rock N Roll has and never will be Pro-War or Pro-government do your homework. Ask your mommy or daddy for a subscription to a church in Texas. You will feel more at home in a congration of people unwilling to THINK for themselves.

Gotta love freedom of expression. Let the woman voice her opinions and don’t be so surprised when she has thousands behind her agreeing. I come from a family full of active duty men and veterans. My brother is gone and fighting and I support him 100%. Do i support the war? No. This is the world we live in.

TGW writes “Has Sheryl Crow ever written any songs about the 20,000 Americans murdered by handguns every year?”

No she hasn’t and I wasn’t aware that it was the ‘handguns’ that commit the murder…

For those bashing Sheryl for speaking honestly and from the heart about the world we live in — too bad — you wouldn’t be so upset if if was striking just ‘a little to close’ to home! Rock on Sheryl!!!

For those bashing Sheryl for speaking honestly and from the heart about the world we live in — too bad — you wouldn’t be so upset if if was striking just ‘a little to close’ to home! Rock on Sheryl!!!

“So, ENOUGH with the bashing!!!!!”

No.

I still can’t believe all of the personal attacks.
How can you call someone stupid if you don’t KNOW them? Has anyone here ever sat down and talked to Sheryl about her political views? Don’t think so. So, ENOUGH with the bashing!!!!!
Everyone has a right to their opinion and to express it as they see fit. If you don’t like Sheryl or her music, that’s fine - go listen to Hannah Montana or one of those other infantile sluts/stars that are so popular today….
but stop ripping people apart because they TRY to put a message across in their music.
WTF people. Enough already!

Sheryl Crow is a brainless celebrity who wants to imnpose her views on other people. She needs to keep her airhead politics to herself and just concentrate on writing the normal, insipid, vapid lyrics and melodies she is so good at.

“I wish I could write about about ALL the things wrong in the world”

Oh, my god. Please don’t!

“The whole “toilet paper” thing was A JOKE people!!! She thought it’d be funny to ask people to use one piece per bathroom visit and the only mainstream media person to report it correctly as a joke was Glenn Beck on his CNN show.”

No, it wasn’t a joke. It was her speaking her mind on so-called “green issues”. She also said that it should be a law and that officers should be sent to people’s homes to make sure it was enforced.”

She made a crazy nutbag statement, period! She only said it was a joke in an attempt to weasel out of looking like a total ass after everyone in the media rightly raked her over the coals for it!

You’re idol is a pinhead psycho, pure and simple! Some of her music isn’t bad though.

And I agree that she shouldn’t be the whipping girl for everything that’s wrong with the world. Let’s face it, it takes people far more intelligent than her to fuck up the world as bad as it is!

What’s all the fuss about this dumb white woman?

Sheryl Crow thinks that people really care an airhead like her thinks. Just because she can write a catchy lyric does not mean she has a brain. If you’ve ever heard an interview with her you know that if you put a feather on her left ear and blew air in her right ear the feather would move because there ain’t nuthin’ in between!

Oh, and 2 more things:
The whole “toilet paper” thing was A JOKE people!!! She thought it’d be funny to ask people to use one piece per bathroom visit and the only mainstream media person to report it correctly as a joke was Glenn Beck on his CNN show.
As for Sheryl writing about “gun issues”, she did write a song called “Love is a Good Thing” on her 1996 record that included the line; “Watch our children while they kill each other
With a gun they bought at Walmart discount stores”. THAT song got her album BANNED from Wal-Mart altogether!!! Way to go Wal-Mart!!! Why don’t you people look into all the other instances of censorship by Wal-Mart in the years since, there are MANY!!!
Sheryl has had this kind of controversy throughout her career so I don’t know why it’s such an issue now!!! This country is so divided right now and it’s mostly by ignorant people who aren’t aware of the facts, on both sides!!! I for one feel that Sheryl does her homework, and while it is still her opinion, I feel that she is more informed than most, so to paraphrase that B.Spears fan, “LEAVE SHERYL ALONE!!”

To all the “HATERS” out there…a big “FUCK YOU!!!”
I can’t believe all this bitterness towards Sheryl!!!
Sheryl has been opposed to the war in Iraq since the beginning, even wearing a “I don’t believe in your war Mr. Bush” t-shirt on ABC’s Good Morning America.
Other than Incubus, who wrote a thinly veiled song & video about Mr. Bush called “Meglomaniac”, who else has written about the war or current political climate other than a few hardcore metal bands?
Give her a fucking break!!! She’s entitled to her opinion and I personally believe her views are valid and more than refreshing in a age of “party your ass off” songs by other so-called “artists”.
Apparently none of you people lived in the 60’s when almost EVERY band made at least one protest or statement song, which is good because you probably all would’ve HATED it!!! IT IS the role of a true artist to try and enlighten the public if there are injustices occuring. Remember there were singing bards in the dark ages doing the same things and the trend continued to folk artists in the 50’s & 60’s. A qoute from the movie “V” sums it up well…” artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up”.
I wish I could write about about ALL the things wrong in the world but there just isn’t enough time OR paper, so get off Sheryl’s back that she didn’t write about each of your own particular issues. Geez, none of you even balked when Brittany Spears wrote her “masterpiece” ‘Piece of Me’ about her issues with the paparazzi!!! At least Sheryl is writing about “real” issues and I for one applaud her for it!!!

re: Tyrese Gail Williams and the rest of the angry bloodthirsty mob!

“Has Sheryl Crow ever written any songs about the 20,000 Americans murdered by handguns every year? Haw She ever written a song about the 250,000 people Putin murdered in Chechnya or the fact that whenever a journalist in Russia criticizes him they wind up dead? Is Sheryl Crow upset about the woman in Saudia Arabia who was raped but the authorities instead decided to whip lash 100 times?
I haven’t heard any songs she’s written about the forty million people in Africa that have AIDS.
It’s funny, but I never hear Sheryl Crow criticize injustice anywhere else in the world except when it comes to Bush and the Republicans.”

alright, Alright, ALRIGHT!!! Easy folks. She’s a very misguided blowhard, but making her carry the entire world’s problems on her shoulders is a bit much, don’t you think?

re: Karen Renbach | 1/14/2008, 6:20 pm EST

“Did she get upset when the terrorists murdered Daniel Pearl for no other reason than he was an American and a Jew?
Did she write any songs about the 3,000 Americans murdered on 911?”

No, she’s too busy trying to tell us to wipe our asses. I don’t think anyone should ever let her off that mat for that psychotic statement!

Sheryl Crow is typical of the Hollywood celebrity obsessed with their own importance. She protests Bush but has this singer ever written any songs about the innocent people that are being murdered by Islamic fundamentalists all around the world? Did she get upset when the terrorists murdered Daniel Pearl for no other reason than he was an American and a Jew?
Did she write any songs about the 3,000 Americans murdered on 911? NO. She kept silent about this, and about the genocide in Darfur, Rowanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Chechnya, etc. Hollywood hates Republicans. You can be very angry with Bush about Iraq but has does that make you indifferent to WORSE things they are going on around the world that have absolutely nothing to do with America??? How phony is it to bash Bush but be silent in the face of ethnic cleansing and terrorism around the world? Bush may be bad but open your eyes to the evil in the world that has nothing to do with America or her leaders.

re: R. Prickle | 1/13/2008, 12:41 pm EST

“You are just another humorless chicken-shit looking for a target.”

I’ll take a wild guess that you’re talking to me. I find it funny that someone like you could say anything about someone else’s sense a humor when you cry hysterically whenever a joke is pointed in your direction.

Just to reiterate, you’re not JFK, you’re not even KFC, you’re a powerless Zero!

Do the world a favor and keep your mindless bumper sticker plattitudes to yourself!

Hey Sheryl,

Do you watch the news? We’re winning in Iraq. Where were you when Saddam butchered one million of his own people, gassed the Kurds, and sent Scud missiles into Iran loaded with chemical weapons? Do you have any songs about the genocide in Darfur in your CD? I didn’t your voice when suicide bombers were blowing up innocent men, women and children in Israel? You are a typical left wing I Hate America nutcase.

The problem is not making commentary..it’s the assumption that celebrity opinion deserves attention and that celebs have some special insight the rest of us lack. Most of these people did not complete high school…why should we assume they know what the answers are?

Wow. I can’t believe all of this negative ranting!!
Sheryl is one the premier female musicians of our day. Some of her music is brilliant and some of it is crap (All I Wanna Do).
So, she wrote another protest song? I can’t comment on it until I’ve heard it….no one else should either.
…and they are “soooo 2003″?
the typical apathetic American response to everything. Americans have no passion anymore.
I suppose Bob Dylan should have stopped writing protest songs after his first album? No “Masters of War”….”Blowin’ In The Wind”…
What a sad world this would be…
Imagine exercising your right to freedom of speech….how dare they.

re: Oh, Fuck You! | 1/13/2008, 4:36 pm EST

You’ll have to refresh my memory as to when we’ve met before. Unfortunately for the rest of us, we’ve had no choice but to look at Sheryl the Old Hag’s mug each and every time we walk by a news stand.

What Ms. 1996 won’t due for a little publicity…short of making decent music, of course.

I actually like her new album, but I don’t know her personally, so I won’t judge her.

re: sherylbgone | 1/13/2008, 12:21 pm EST

“will do everything she can to get her smarmy mug on as many magazine covers . . .”

Yeah yeah yeah. YOU WISH you looked that “smarmy” ya buttery little troll!

I stand accused.

what’s next.. stone me to death?

I laugh at you for the imagined superiority you feel.

The “anti” sentiment here is indicative of the “quick, find someone to hate” mentality that prevails in these dark times.

You are just another humorless chicken-shit looking for a target.

No wonder everyone is scared.
Good Luck.

See ya next post.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?

The bad news is that Sheryl, one of the biggest publicity whores pop music has ever known, is making another record and will do everything she can to get her smarmy mug on as many magazine covers and in as many TV programs as is humanly possible. The good news is that, even with all of her trademark whoring, very few will buy what’s guaranteed to be another piece of crap…

As this forum proves, she is a has-been and completely irrelevant. Too bad it took the better part of ten years for her to become more known as the self-obsessed fraud of a human being she is than a conflicted disposable pop machine who never figured out if she wants to be the next Joni Mitchell or a 46-year-old Britney Spears.

All I Wanna Do is not hear or see you again.

re: R. Tickle | 1/12/2008

Zero.

How convenient that she chooses to make a statement now - where was she when her good friends - The Dixie Chicks could have used her support. The only person who stood up for them was Al Gore. This will only make her more irrelevant - I lost a lot of respect for her back in 2003…it’s easy to say something now…

re: R. Tickle | 1/12/2008, 4:12 pm EST

“wow. I am amazed at my power.

Thank you Sheryl Crow for using your status to stand up and say something.

wow. it is a proud day for me.
me.

Sad. I tell you’re delusional and you’re proud! That’s your problem. I ridicule you for having a God complex and have a delusions of granduer that you THINK your like John Kennedy.
You tell a fool, they’re a fool and they take it as a compliment!

You’re a mess! Hopelessly, lost but making good time! Happy trails to you . . . the psyche ward can’t be too far behind!!!

wow. I am amazed at my power.

have you no shame?

There’s no mention or any reference of Cheryl Crows “protest song” in your post, so your response seems disingenuous.

. . . And . . .

re: R. Tickle | 1/12/2008, 9:22 am EST

“9 more soldiers died today people. Were any of them related to you?”

(Okay, here’s my reply!)

What is that, an idea for a bumper sticker?

It sounds like:

“it’s 10 p.m. do you know where your children are?”

no wait. i’m sorry! it’s much more grand in scale than that. it’s HISTORIC!!!

hey, that’s as profound as john lennon’s “war is over”!

Wait no, why not aim for the stars!!! Right, sexy?

hmmm . . . how about:

“one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”

No, no, let’s put it right where it belongs right along side of:

“ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”

There ya go, Champ!

me, holier than THOU? not possible.

i mean, who’s more Holy than such a Beacon Of Light as YOURSELF?

i think have an inkling of how YOUR mind works. . . come on, now White Dove, be honest with YOURSELF . . .

“hmmm . . . if only someone would give ME a podium with a massive throng of mesmerized onlookers where I could share MY Profound and Revolutionary ideas . . .

I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD!!!”

No, YOU’RE right! YOU’RE not standing on YOUR own soap box, YOU’RE holding out for a statue erected in YOUR name!!!

No need to reply; YOU’VE said all soooo eloquently already!

as if anyone cares what you think.

This photo makes her look like the kid from The Mask..in other news, no one cares what SC thinks of the Iraq War.

hey RED, the posts here have been dogging on Ms. Crow for writing a protest song implying that it’s old hat…those men and women DIED today!
you are WAY off base…I’m not standing on ANY soapbox, I’m talking about reality. Why don’t you READ the posts and understand the CONTEXT before you aim your “Holy Indignation” at me.

I lost one friend in WTC, though.

But one time, I knew this girl, she was a paranoid schizophrenic. Batshit nuts, for all intents and purposes. She would go on about losing fifty friends in the WTC
disaster! Yeah, she did this just to get attention. She didn’t even lose one!

Can you imagine trivializing such a horrible event for a little attention? How fucked up is that? But she moved away, no one’s heard from her in years. She’s probably still making up stories in a pathetic cry for help. I would’ve said I pitied her, but I didn’t.

any nekkid pictures?

Why don’t you guys reserve your criticism for when she does a shallow, commercial record simply record to continue existing as an artist…oh wait, she already did that. It’s called “C’mon C’mon”.

Radio: “All I wanna do is have some fun . . .”

SFX: Spinning chambers . . .zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . BANG!

The world of the world is a shitty place is a shitty place..at least the odor from here is mighty stale.

Sheryl is about as real as a star can be…go ahead - - -
Name someone else in her league.

Ok..Patti Smith. But that’s a whole different approach.. and even Patti had to work with Springsteen to get a commercial tune so she could pay the bills and keep on rockin.
Crow is a great combination of commerciality and sincerity and hey ‘I took some acid on Saturday night just to see what the buzz was about’ is as real as it will probably get.

9 more soldiers died today people. Were any of them related to you??

who told sheryl crow she was allowed to do anything involving music?

re: Miller | 1/11/2008, 3:06 pm EST

“no one else has been able to comfort a frightened country - It wouldn’t be Crow’s first time to succeed when others failed.”

Oh, please!

I like Sheryl Crow, but the LAST thing the world needs is more anti-war songs. If you don’t have anything real to say, then don’t.

If you have something more to bring to the table than bumper-stickers put to music, I’m listening.

no one else has been able to comfort a frightened country - It wouldn’t be Crow’s first time to succeed when others failed. I’ll buy a copy.

Leave my toilet paper alone, bitch!

Oh, thank God for more ‘war protest’ songs. It’s not like those are soooooooooo 2003 or anything like that.

it must suck if you have to write songs dedicated to someone/something as dry as karl rove. I hope it gets back to something close to her second album, which is great.

i like her..
