Some fundamental differences, for sure, but I really appreciate a dialogue done with respect for the right to a different opinion.

Especially today, I appreciate the civility.

Entertainers have used their notoriety to back politicians and causes for centuries. Think Springsteen and Bono, for starters.

The reason I don't play nursing homes is my strong affiliation with a group that lobbies and otherwise advocates for Nursing Home Reform.

I believe those who justify their involvement as bringing pleasure to the residents...they probably do. But I believe most of the "for profit" homes are hell holes. National ratings support this...check it out.

For me to play one of these places would be selling out...BIG TIME.

The take-a-way here is live your beliefs.

Be well, all.
