Too bad.

I listen to a lot of foreign music. I don’t know their politics, which allows me to simply enjoy the music without remembering what they said about this or that politician, or issue, or what they said about me.

Actors, musicians, artists in general, make a big mistake when they step out from behind their art to be overtly political. Let your art speak for you, it crosses barriers that politics can’t cross. The minute you step out from behind your art, you lose your ability to really communicate and most of the time, you never get it back.

Joe Perry is a Pubbie and I think the rest of the band is also. Steven "Largemouth Bass" Tyler is a liberal chowder head.

Yep...they mouth off and I usually won’t listen or watch their movies. Rolling Stones is my fav band. Keith Richards was on a talk show and started to go off about Trump. I changed the channel.
