Agree or disagree with the performer, but this is just nonsense. Heckling isn't polite or nice or even OK in any circumstances. He could have just walked out and asked at the ticket booth for his money. Dangit man... you're kidding right?
I think there's a strong argument that given this was a concert, not a political event, that the person doing the heckling was actually BS.
Wikipedia says "a heckler is a person who shouts an uninvited comment, usually disparaging, at a performance or event, or interrupting set-piece speeches, for example at a political meeting. A heckler is almost always regarded as unwelcome by the person with justifiable claim to be the centre of attention. The audience too may find the interruption an unwanted distraction; however they may sometimes find the interjection amusing or apposite."
It sounds to me that BS's political ranting constitutes an uninvited comment to the audience within the context of a musical performance. Maybe BS should learn to be polite. She is, again within the context of the performance, being paid by the audience to perform her music, anything else is outside of the scope of her employment. Just my opinion.
