Pink Floyd and all their derivatives use their shows as a political backdrop, The Beatles got political and religious, there are simply hundreds of "celebrities<sic>" that use their stage as a pulpit. Pete Seeger was likely one of the first to really use the stage for that purpose, Jona Baez, Woodie Guthrie, Bob Dylan, CSNY, Bruce Springsteen, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and of course the Sex Pistols all come to mind as well.
Everyone knows going into these shows what they are all about and what they are in for. Ive got my tickets for the Toronto show, looking forward to it, preaching or not.
