...The Rolling Stones, who have managed to stay mostly apolitical for their 40-plus years in the limelight, find themselves in the middle of a bipartisan brouhaha as they kick off their American tour at Fenway Park.
Whilst their new tune ``Sweet Neo Con'' is rankling conservatives, liberals and union activists are annoyed that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is throwing a $10,000- to $100,000-a-head fund-raiser at Sundays show...

Ugh. Arnold. Why can't he stay in California?? Oh well. . .
A little off topic. Many, many, many moons ago, I used to live in the Fenway Park area. In fact, the part was just across the street from one apartment building where I lived. It's normally a quiet place where people garden their flowers and vegetables. It just seems wierd that the Rolling Stones (and I DO like their music! ) would be performing there. I wonder WHERE they're going to be performing. :confused: The Fenway stadium??
I would LOVE to go and hear their music.
