3 Doors Down, great band, conservative.

Guns N Roses, all republicans or libertarian

Led Zeppelin, who knows lol so i can listen to them.

One song by Mellencamp I treasure—Hurts So good, otherwise You can have him. What is it with wealth, stardom, and adulation that turns these guys into liberal buffoons? Let me know.

Cut yourself some slack, and listen to the music you enjoy.
This was the Rock guy’s party, and Clinton crashed it (maybe by invitation from Levinson).
You can count on two hands, the number of Republicans, or Libertarians there are in entertainment today.
However, just to help(?) you out a little;

Jon Bon Jovi is supporting Christie this go around.
The only past or current member of GnR that’s even remotely conservative is Slash.
3 Doors Down is primarily conservative, and good guys.

Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, all being Subjects of the Crown, their political opinion of anything American will be slanted by the European Socialism they grew up under.

John Mellencamp has long been a friend of Willie Nelson, and Neil Young, and is a founder of “Farm Aid” which blames all American farming problems on Republicans.

So again, enjoy the music that makes you happy. Worrying about what others believe will make you crazy for no reason.

Mellencamp comes through my airport (Marathon, FL) all the time. He is an unqualified jerk, treats the staff horribly, is always demanding, and dresses like a slob. Like so many others in popular music.

I couldn’t care less about a musician’s or actor’s political views. I enjoy their artistic performances and ignore their loony opinions on politics or even their right views, in the rare cases that it occurs. I have always wanted to ask an artist this: “I wouldn’t ask a politician a musical question or an art, why do you think I care about your political views?”
