You try and fill three hours with Toby Keith

According to the Drudge Report (yeah...I know...) liberal media giant CBS is telling artists that they may get their microphone silenced if they attempt to make any anti-war comments during the Grammy's.

Top CBS executives are deeply concerned that Sunday night's GRAMMY Awards may turn from a celebration of music -- into a giant anti-war politically rally, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The GRAMMY broadcast, which is set to air live from New York City, will feature performances by Eminem, Sheryl Crow, Springsteen, Coldplay, James Taylor and others.

Word has reached network suites how one star is allegedly planning a dramatic anti-war gesture.

"I would hope the artists will remember they are on stage because of their music," a top CBS source told the DRUDGE REPORT Friday morning.

The CBS executive warned microphones may be unplugged on Sunday night if live performances turn political.

"It, of course, is a final option [to cut the microphone.] But it's a very real option," said the top source, who demanded anonymity.

"There is a time for political commentary, this is not one of them!"

Although this may very well be a ploy to get people to watch the Grammy's to see what happens (let's face it...the Grammy's are crap), you have to wonder what CBS will do if an artist chooses to not make a comment during an acceptance speech, but instead, stops mid-song during a performance to make a statement? Will they pull the plug if Sheryl Crow switches in mid-song from "Soak Up the Sun" to "Masters of War"? I don't think so.

It would send a strong message if the somewhat independent-minded Dixie Chicks suprised CBS with a cover of Tracy Chapman's "Subcity".

That would be must-see-TV.
