Madonna Attacks Bush at Festival

Madonna radically altered her music to attack US President George W. Bush during her appearance at California's Coachella Valley Arts And Music Festival, on Sunday. The "Hung Up" singer thrilled fans with a six-song set in the Sahara Dance Tent, and took a cheeky swipe at the US leader by changing her song lyrics. During an energetic rendition of her song "I Love New York," Madonna roared, "Just go to Texas and suck George Bush's d**k."

I'm sorry but Stephen Colbert is the one who owned Bush this weekend.

I think the Kristna Sky Crew was the best non-performance part of Coachella...

Drama, garlic fries, destruction of metal poles, giant poster hijacking, and the wires on Madonna's arms, nothing can top all that :P

What happens at Coachella, stays at Coachella.

You forgot golf carts and road rage, and watching Chupacabra in Dark Waters

Actually think it was a bit pathetic of Madonna. I can't STAND it when celebs use their fame for political propaganda. There's a place and a time to do that shit and a music event (even if it was her own concert) is NOT the place to do it. The event is about the music, the experience and not f'n politics.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Everyone has a right to speak their mind and as long as the artist upholds their end of the bargin by playing the music that people paid to see them for then I believe an artist can say whatever he or she wants.

I so agree.

More than pathetic. Madonna is a bafoon.

I wish she would just rust away.

From the reviews of her "performance" sounds like she is well on her way.

Tool played most of their old songs. i do not follow tool but i knew pretty much all the songs. i did not like 10K days album so i was afraid they would play from that album. but, i then learned they were gonna tour, so i guessed they would keep the album for the tour.

sound quality is awesome on that stage, crisp, crystal clear. this was alone worth to watch them. tool had the best sound on sunday.

their light show was very repetitive, i do not understand why rock bands have light show, it is too gay. i do not think you care about the light show anyway.

but, the crowd was subdued. i do not know tool fans, i never been to their shows. they seemed very passive, it was sunday midnight, so that might be the reason. day time temperature was 100F. i skied at mt. whitney on saturday, so it was a huge change for me, but i still had the energy.

Probably $1,000 - $2,000

I read recently Madonna wanted to do a collaboration with Aphex Twin so she can have a more "experimental edge" to here music. His response was, "You're old and outdated, you must accept this"

Hes a homophobe, don't mind him.

Mylo played "drop the pressure"....it was awesome. Glad the crowed died out after Madonna set was over.

Agree with this. There's some artists that can do it well and others should just sssssshhhh & play their music.

But no one goes into a concert wanting to hear political propaganda. It's not about whether she has the right to speak her mind or not. It's about the right and wrong time to do it. People play to hear her music. They do not pay to hear some political speech.

I forget which major artist it was, but one was doing a stint of several shows in Vegas a couple years ago and on his/her first night, he or she did something like this and 1/2 the audience walked out and were so upset the resort/venue cancelled the rest of the concert dates and gave everyone refunds.

Linda Rondstat

It sure shows a lot of forward thinking Madonna to berate President Bush at a music festival . . . hu?

Why not do something really courageous and watch one of your husband�s dreadful films?

Now that would take balls.

But she does have a right to speak her mind, and she will use that right. As I said earlier, I believe an artist can say what he or she wants on stage as long as they perform the service the consumer pays them for, which is to play music. Madonna played her music and she said what she wanted to say, which is fine by me.

The incident you brought up involves Linda Ronstadt, who dedicated a song at the end of her set to Michael Moore. Apparently she had been doing that at her previous Vegas gigs, but this one particular show caused a strong reaction. As she was singing, hundreds of fans left and some of them defaced posters promoting the show, which is childish in my opinion. And yeah, they cancelled the rest of her Vegas shows because of that.

I have found that the people who usually have a problem with this are the people who disagree with what an artist says on stage. A few years back Pearl Jam played a show in Denver where they played an anti-Bush song while Eddie Vedder put a Bush mask on a mic stand and sang to it. A few people in the crowd booed and chanted "fuck you, Eddie." Unfortunately it became a big story with claims that Eddie Vedder "impaled" a Bush mask (he didn't) and that most of the fans booed (it was only a small number of fans). I think it's unfortunate that people over-react whenever a celebrity opens his or her mouth to speak about politics because they feel celebrities aren't allowed to do that because that's not what they paid for.

Maybe I don't mind artists speaking politcally on stage because a few of the bands I listen to are very active politcally. I've seen Pearl Jam, Neil Young, and Rage Against the Machine in concert, and while I don't always agree with their politics, I understand that they have rights as citizens to say what they want. If any of those acts spent the majority of the show talking instead of playing music then I would've had a problem with it.
