MTV doesnt like the idea of Trent Reznor using a prominent image of George W. Bush as a background while the band performs for the MTV Movie Awards. MTV has asked the Foo Fighters to play in place of NIN. While we respect Nine Inch Nails' point of view, we were uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement, said a statement issued by the network. When we discussed our discomfort with the band, their choice was to unfortunately pull out of the Movie Awards. The MTV Movie Awards, which are also scheduled to feature performances by Eminem and Mariah Carey, will air June 9. Don't I remember some live performances with Eminem using images of Dubya? What is different about Trent Reznor? He is very intelligent and his freedom of expression should not be denied. At least we can still see Nine Inch Nails live whenever they come to town.
