Reply #14: How many people use politics to determine a purchase anyway? [View All]

[Mike Daniels]

I'm willing to bet that an overwhelming majority of the public doesn't care one way or another where actors, artists, or musicians stand politically.

Of the minority that do care, I'm willing to bet that their decision to boycott or support an artist because of their views doesn't reflect that deeply into the artist's revenue.

I admit however that it would have been interesting to see how Dixie Chicks concerts would have been affected had the shows not already been sold out prior to them making the statement about Bush.

I don't think the end result would have been that much different.
