Is it surprising? Springsteen's "Born in the USA" was pretty anti-war, if you listened to the lyrics. So add him to the witch hunt, I guess.
But I don't think these celebs are mad that Joe Fan is boycotting them, they're mad that radio stations, corporations and many similar organizations are taking a pro-war stance by banning the music and doing other similar things. I mean, people would be up in arms if pro-war music got banned, or if anti-Bush signs were sold at Kroger's and Walmart like pro-war signs already are.
I really don't think artists are saying people can't critisize them, but they're saying it's not right for institutions that serve the public to take such a strong political stance.
