Do you think every musician is a leftist?

Sting has done concerts for Amnesty International, and stuff like that, but I looked it up and he's never endorsed Labour, or gotten involved in anything political. Ans the other two even less.

Stewart Copeland's mother was a Scot archaeologist who worked for British intelligence during WWII, where she met hi father, who was in intelligence for the U.S. After the war, when the CIA was founded, he worked there. He was stationed in the Middle East quite a bit. He was known to be a dissident CIA agent, and eventually left. But he was also a known conservative, and wrote about such issues, after he left the CIA.

I don't think the sun has ever mentioned politics, but he could be conservative like his parents.

I’m a musician who’s very conservative in all things, and worked as a bassist for years in a band with a guitarist who was a dyed in the wool democrat. We would clash every time politics came up but we always kept it friendly so that we could make some money together. We agreed to disagree so that we could keep a band up and running. Lots of people in music are very leftist but then there’s lots of God loving conservatives like myself too.

Most not all. I can think of several big names who are on the right but they are badly outnumbered like the Hollywood creeps.

Copeland said he’s right-wing by British standards but probably center right by America standards.

A while back, when Greg Gutfeld was hosting “Red Eye”, Stewart Copeland was an occasional guest.

Copeland seemed to lean Libertarian. He definitely wasn’t a lefty.
