<<the central issue is whether one is paying to enjoy musical entertainment or to see a "performance" put on by an artist.>> The artist is the artist. What if the artist has new material which is extremely political (but sung instead of spoken)? Are you saying they can't perform their new material without the public's prior consent? If you don't like what an artist is doing, don't go. If the show was something very different than what you expected, don't go to any future shows. It's pretty simple really. <<If I paid $50 bucks to see Les Miserables, and the cast spent the first 20 minutes pontificating about the Israeli Palestinian conflict, I'd be pretty ticked off.>> And if it was on Broadway, so too would the theater. But if it was some arty-political off Broadway thing, well you take your chances. I don't mind the casino firing Ronstadt. She may not be what they wanted: something inoffensive to all of their customers. But the idea that the ticket buying public has a right to dictate the artist's performance is ridiculous.
