Stark Raving Babs
E! reports: Barbara Streisand, the legendary singer--and just-as-legendary Democratic supporter--drew some jeers from a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd Monday night after wedging a Bush-bashing political skit in between numbers at her concert. The erstwhile Funny Girl star became targeted by a heckler more than halfway through the show--for which concertgoers had to pay upwards of $250--after bringing Steve Bridges, a President George W. Bush impersonator, up on stage. Some fans began to tire of the twosome's routine, with one man going so far as to shout, "What is this, a fundraiser?" 

Apparently, Babs can dish it out, but she can't take it. "Why don't you shut the f--- up?" she shouted back to the delight of her more sycophantic fans. "If you can't take a joke, why don't you leave and get your money back." [the lesson here is to stick the music, people don't pay to hear your politics - more at the full story link]

punkbands reports: Indie/Punk act Kind of Like Spitting have decided to throw in the towel after ten years. You can read a personal statement from frontman Ben Barnett on the band's Myspace Page. [Here is part of it] I just wanted to let you know that all the shows planned for november are cancelled. I don't have any plans to make a record or continue this project.

My personal life has become too intense to continue writing songs that blame others for my issues.Singing these songs and touring my life into the ground has left me lost and directionless in my life. I have spent ten years of my life getting high and blaming others for my history and inability to control my demons. I want to reach a better place. I want to move FORWARD.
