Electronic music pioneer Moby (real name Richard Melville Hall) went on quite the Twitter tirade on Saturday, railing against “racist, xenophobic, ignorant” Republicans who “support war” and “hate immigrants.”

The musician, who has campaigned for and written open letters to President Obama, began his rant in standard fashion, calling Republicans “loathsome” and linking to a Los Angeles Times article about NASA funding:

I know he’s not sincere because he would have committed suicide by now if he had really listened to his own music and protestations.

He was really famous for the Bourne Identity Trilogy, where they played his song at the end credits.

Whats sad in a way is that guys like him (that level of musician) have gone so far beyond the general public’s threshold that they limited their audience to the devoted.

Sad in the sense that the genpub simply -can’-t ‘get’ it. Then again some people never get classical. And thats fine. To each their own. Nothing bad or wrong. I just mean that the general music listening public will never, ever, know the joy of be stunned to silence by a performance of a modern pop/country song and stand there slack jawed in awe of the talent involved, because of it.

It's a sign of how little devotion to craft, and the work ethic required to achieve virtuosity, matters anymore in this era of instant celebutards. Even if it's not someone’s cup of tea musically, musicians of this caliber deserve respect just for the years of practice it takes to reach their level, and then do something so aesthetically pleasing with it.

[Norm Lenhart]

Vai was notorious for 10 hour days of practice for YEARS. And that was while he performed/toured, for much of his career. there was even a book for guitarists dealing with his regimen. And that was DOWN from his early years of up to 14 hour days.

He did it all for his goals and has met them. Granted something like that is rare even at the top levels. But what orchestra performer practices much less? They are all singular in focus. It’s their life.

But today? “Ain’ nobody gots time fo’dat!”

Well when Zappa tabs you to tour with him, you’d better be good.

[Norm Lenhart]

And at what was it? 17 no less? Incredible stuff. He talks about Zappa a lot in interviews too. Reverently.

Who the hell is Moby outside of Moby Dick?

[Zionist Conspirator]

Police kill a guy and he blames it on the fact that civilians can own firearms.

Lefties are like a juke box. Put in your quarter and a few well-rehearsed and recorded phrases automatically play.

[Norm Lenhart]

Profound observation. I never thought of it that way but it’s accurate as hell.

[mrsmel]

And to think that back at the height of their popularity, a group like YES were just “pop” musicians, with their level of musicianship.

[Darren McCarty]

Love him or hate him, he does have a gift for that. Which is why he PO’d so many blacks for ‘Cultural appropriation” back before Dre gave him ‘the blessing’.

I'm not a fan of Eminem, rap, and especially white rap, but the guy grew up largely in two areas. One is South Warren, then a fairly poor white area. The other is on Detroit's East Side and it fits the Detroit stereotype. He really is from the ghetto.

[Norm Lenhart]

The whole YES thing just hurts my head. They kinda to me anyway, existed in a world of their own. They weren’t anything in particular genrewise and the prog term really didn’t do justice to what they did or were.

I don’t know how anything that complex/deep ever hit a pop chart. But it did.
