I do know who Ray Manzarek is. At one time, I really liked him and the Doors. Now I know better.... I wish folks would stop and consider their fondness for secular pop and classic rock music, especially those who consider themselves social conservatives, Christians, and just plain all’round conservatives. Consider who you stand with in fondness.

Will you be indifferent when Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan die?

So just because we are conservatives means we have to reject good music? I don’t buy that. The music of the 1960’s- early 70’s was fantastic. It was a period of incredible musical genius. Nothing since has even come close to it. It’s all I listen to.

Sorry...having the right politics does not mean good music...or anything else concerning arts and music. Many certifiable, leftist nutjobs have made great music. Conversely, Wagner was an anti-Semitic crud who made great music. By the way, I’m not a huge Doors fan, but I did like a lot of their top 40 hits. Morrison was a lunatic...big deal.

And I wish FReepers who have said something regrettable would just either back off or apologize instead of trying to justify a nasty remark with piousness. Taking the Lord's name in vain, much?
