I saw him at Coachella in 2016, he was great. I expected him to get political, he did not. He did promote one cause though, but it was innocuous and not offensive.
I also gained a lot of respect for him when I learned of how much he has done for his special needs son. The man has a big heart, and I can overlook some things when a man is doing the right thing for his family.
I wore out my copy of Live Rust. I totally loved that album. Cortez the Killer, Sedan Delivery, and Like a Hurricane were part of my 1979-1980 life soundtrack.
Well he is Canadian so we have to give him a little leeway. Not to mention his brain is a bit fried from heroin.
Definitely a talented musician.
