Will the Grammys Become an Anti-War-Fest?

Let's hope so!

Matt Drudge is reporting that CBS doesn't want the Grammys to turn into a pro-Saddam an anti-war rally:

Top CBS executives are deeply concerned that Sunday night's GRAMMY Awards may turn from a celebration of music -- into a giant anti-war political rally, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned....

The CBS executive warned microphones may be unplugged on Sunday night if live performances turn political.... "There is a time for political commentary, this is not one of them!"

Let's hope the... er... um... artists decide to go political and that CBS caves. As I mentioned the other day:

Bill O'Reilly interviewed a media consultant yesterday. This guy claimed that the likes of Mike Farrell, Ed Asner, Susan Sarandon, and Martin Sheen are hurting themselves and their cause: the public, he said, has a "visceral negative" reaction when actors take a political stand because they have no "moral authority" in that area.

With any luck, this analysis holds for... er... um... musicians, too.
