Ok, so I have a 95+% chance of being right. Black and in Hollywood would raise the likelihood of being an Obama voter.
Making a ‘guess’ like that in an obit thread is tacky in the extreme, especially considering he didn’t to my knowledge make his politics public.
Bringing politics into a non-political entertainer’s death is really tasteless.
He didn’t fit into stereotypes. His favorite musical band is my favorite - the English band, Yes.
“Hemsley was a self-proclaimed fan of 1970s progressive rock bands including Yes,Gentle Giant and Nektar. On his appearance on Dinah!, Hemsley performed a dance to the Gentle Giant song “Proclamation” from The Power and the Glory. After his dance, Shore was laughing and asked what kind of music that was. Sherman then proceeded to give a 5-minute speech on Gentle Giant. In 1999, he collaborated with Yes founder Jon Anderson on an album titled Festival of Dreams which was not released.”
RIP Sherman.
