(CNN) -- They play different styles of music, but lately some performers
are all singing the same tune.
Rocker Jon Bon Jovi admits, "I'm very antiwar." Singer Sheryl Crow says,
"Nobody wants to rush into a war." R&B songstress Ashanti says, "[It's]
such a sad thing to see so many young men having to go out and fight the
war."
From rappers to rockers, a number of pop musicians are going on record
protesting a possible war with Iraq.
British rock star Sir Elton John said he worries about possible repercussions
of a war such as terrorist attacks.
"I'm not a big war fan anyway," John said. "I hate to see anybody's sons
and daughters lose their kids over something that is presented as an imminent
danger. I don't see it as an imminent danger."
Bon Jovi and his band mates often show support for U.S. troops during stops
on their "Bounce" tour while maintaining an antiwar stance.
Television and movie stars also have been vocal protesters against a possible
conflict. "West Wing" star Martin Sheen is probably the best-known celebrity
in the antiwar movement.
John Travolta, who recently trained for a movie with troops being deployed
to the Persian Gulf, admits he has his doubts. "That was rough because you'd
make friends with the battalion and then they'd go off," Travolta said, "and
I was like, I wonder if they're going to come back. [It's] kind of scary
that way."
Saying they fear war could begin soon, some musicians and actors are raising
their voices and seeking to strike a different chord with audiences.
應該會打起來吧....
