I am so pissed.
The Stones were the last rock n roll band which I respected, simply cause they never latched onto the liberal claptrap.
Contrary to what others say (about ignoring a band's politics), I cannot ever look at a musician the same way once I learn how demented they are IF (as most do) they oppose the very freedoms made possible by the strength and character of conservative western politico's like GWB, Reagan, Thatcher, and dare I say Blair.
It is our strength that allows bands like the Stones, Maroon 5, etc. to have the freedom they do to zoom around the world and badmouth their protectors.
If the libs were in charge like they want, this world would long ago have morphed into a balkanized terror filled dangerous place.

I agree. I've listened to Exile on Main Street at least once a week since, well, we won't go into how long that is. Now this. And from a band that went into exile rather than pay sky-high Brit taxes, you expect a lot more.
I'm such a charitable soul, though, I'm going to write this off to the air-head industry they're in: shallow thoughts, cheap opinions. That way I can keep listening. Otherwise I'd have to throw up.
Maroon 5? What have they been saying? I have a CD of theirs that I'll have to add to my burn pile.
