In the case of John "the only good Indian is a dead Indian" Wayne, maybe that's not such a bad thing. Whatever his screen accomplishments, I can't admire a self-admitted, first rate bigot. Remember, this guy was NOT a hero, he just played one on the screen.

I'll drink to that! I completely understand your position on this one man. That's why I also don't support some of the other well known musicians on this forum..., because they too were bigots. Elvis is an excellent example... He's loved on this forum, but Elvis over the years has said a lot of negative and racist things towards African Americans. I remember when I was younger I watched my mother throw an Elvis album in the trash. She didn't call it the devil's music, she said Elvis was a racist bastard and his music had no place in our home. Actually I wonder what year that album was now... Probably would have been worth something

I do however understand Bob's remarks. Music has really gone down the crapper lately. Who's really singing today without the aid of "pitch correction", and other vocal effects. There's a few good singers out there, but many voices are carried by effects, which often kills the vocals in the end.

Today they just want to market the look and sex appeal, and worry about the singing in the end. When they do this we end up with people like Britney Spears... Then you got the ones who have a set of pipes that will blow the windows out of a house who don't even get noticed and have to resort to showing their ass more on stage just to get noticed. Very sad indeed.
