Autio-
It's not the politics in the music..I listen to Neil Young, so I can handle politics IN the music.
It's the tendency these dolts have to use their "fame" to spout crap outside of music that bothers me. Hollywood types do the same thing...they feel that their accomplishment in their craft makes them authorities in public and political arenas as well. I mean, I think Martin Sheen is a great actor, but his political views are somewhat whacked to me.
To quote Zappa once again- "Shut up and play yer guitar!"
