Thanks Nick, sounds like Meat was in his element. Hopefully someone will post a link for us poor deprived people on the other side of the world who can't watch it.

Well, that's the thing...governor appears to be Republican, Sharpton is a known CRAZY and Hannity is conservative nut...strange company as I've said before...I wouldn't get paid to watch Hannity or Sharpton on anything...

Michele Bachmann, the lady in the panel, put the show up on youtube:

it's very bad quality though, I could hardly understand it.

To me it seemed more like a 12 min commercial clip for the republicans than a political discussion. (Isnt the host supposed to stay out of the argument and dont have an opinion?)

"My daughter cannot listen to Paradise By The Dashboard Light"! :roll: :nuts:

Pretty grotesque show. Unfortunately, it was more yelling than discussing in a decent way, it was often hard to understand what they were saying. But Meat had some good points.

This was a new show for Hannity, and this panel part featured a liberal, a conservative and an x factor. Meat was the x factor. And it was to be a debate, and the heavy yelling/talking was part of the debate that Hannity did little to discourage. I was amazed as to how logical Sharpton was on education and censorship, and he and Meat were on the same page on both issues. After all, Meat has had experience on both issues - he beautifully raised two great daughters with these issues prominent in their lives. And Hannity saying he wouldn't let his 14 year old daughter hear Paradise; when you realize what kind of lyrics are out there nowadays, Paradise is quite tame, hence Meat's reaction when Hannity said that.

All politics are crap - don't kid yourself...you can't be good and decent a 100% and be a politician...no matter who you're...

And what you've seen ain't no politics...this was some talk show that nobody probably watches...and if anybody does, it would be uber conservative nutcase or just die hard Meat's fan...that's why I was so taken aback when I found that Meat actually went on that show...not like him at all...I haven't watched the clip on principal but if there was a lot fo screaming, I can see why...

Check out Hannity and Colmes show...then you will know who Hannity is...any decent semi-liberal person will spit into his direction...and at least Pearl was pro-Obama and liberal as was posted on the Facebook...I believe that so would be Meat...

Our film star president was pretty awful...not as bad as the moron that was in the office for the last 8 years but pretty bad...people should do what they are supposed to do...and what they've got education and experience for...

The facts are that Sean Hannity is an extremely popular commentator in America, having one of the highest rated nationally syndicated radio shows in America. Hannity is very much a Conservative Commentator. His show really does lean politically right, and that is okay, just as okay as if someone had a sucessful show that leaned politically left.

The comments stating Meat Loaf was on a show that "probably no one watches" is absolutely not true. According to the HuffingtonPost.com website (which is extremely left leaning), Sean Hannity's debut show (which featured Mr. Loaf on the panel) recieved an average audience of 2.9 million viewers. Sean pulled in more viewers than both his competiting political talk shows (Rachel Maddow and Larry King) combined. Further, Sean's debut night sparked a higher average viewership than he was served with his former co-host, Alan Combs.

As for pro-liberal and pro-conservative..until Meat Loaf comes out and states his political leanings, none of us can be sure. Actually, I was surprised to see Al Sharpton leaning with the conservative notion of keeping government controls away from artistic expression. Least we forget that Tipper Gore (wife of former US Vice-President Al Gore, current liberal environmentalist) was the individual responsible for starting the modern witch hunt and shutting down artist's rights to create work without fear of having their creations "banned" or "stickered" by a supposedly free government.

Food for thought...

It sounds like a case who could should louder for the first few minutes...when it calmed down it was pretty good.

Have to say I like the line about the porn industry.

The start though was about everyone loving to hear the sound of their own voice

You are right about Hannity's popularity with the conservatives. I'm definitely not like him. Just before his show came on, I saw the end of O'Reilly's show; most of the really out-there commentators and their shows are loud and extremely opinionated, and you either love them or hate them intensely.
Meat has been rumored to be on the conservative side for a long time, but on that show, when he had a chance to speak, he was more conservative-middle-of-the-road, like Sharpton has become on certain issues, hence they being on the same page several times during the program (I agree on your surprise on Sharpton's latest leanings, but being in NY and hearing him often, he's been mellowing in the last few years). When Meat mentioned bailing out porn, he was being funny, but also making a sharp point about the bailouts in general, which I thought was interesting and a very smart analogy from him. And even if one is shocked about the lyrics out there available for very young kids to hear and buy, Tipper Gore's obsession with censoring turned off a lot of people, so that anything that smacks of censoring is very much rejected no matter how reasonable it may be to keep very young kids protected.

I'm not really bothered about Meat's political leanings.
He's a fecking good singer and performer, and that's all I need to know.

Meat has stated a few times that he's a Republican, you don't get many left-leaning Republicans.

OK...what I am about to say I am saying straight without any sarcasm...I don't understand the point of this post in response to my post? Ted Nugent is entertainment majority? Actually...although for the most part what he says is crazy...that wasn't as crazy as one might think and some points actually made sense which is unbelievable considering this is Ted Nugent...I am a democrat and a liberal...but I am not a bleeding heart liberal...

Certainly not, I just picked him as an example. I know that many entertainers tend to be rather liberal but there are also conservatives.

Actually...although for the most part what he says is crazy...that wasn't as crazy as one might think

I did not judge what he is saying in the video at all, that's why I think it's quite interesting that you did. People seem to automatically imply something when it comes to politics. ;)

Well, actually Ted Nugent is more famous for his views than Meat...he is quite outspoken...I didn't judge him one way or the other...just said that in this video his makes more sense than he usually does...

The majority of country music artists are conservative, perhaps Meats next album will be a reflection of his views which is why there's rumour about it being country(ish).

:lawl: Interesting thought but I can't imagine him doing a "political" album.

It doesn't have to be overtly political to reflect a certain view. As its been pointed out, Paradise By The Dashboard Light has a certain conservative feel to it.

Depends on how you interpret it. ;)

Pudding

Exactly, which comes from how the song is written. A person can write a song with a vision in mind, but the listener might have a completely different vision.

Not many people think that Elvis' Jailhouse Rock had homosexual undertones to it, but how it was written and how it was interpretted can be very different

"Number 47 said to number 3, You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see,
I sure'll be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me "

Pud :twisted:
