It's the whole damn Dixie Chicks argument all over again.
Yes, he has a right to make whatever kind of statement he wishes.
But, if his fans disagree, they have to right to boycott the band. Just because celebrities have a greater access to media and can spread their opinions easier doesn't mean they have a carte blanche with their fans.
