Ahh! I understand now...you're *stronger* than
the drugs.

Not that i'm sayin you are a drug user. Just that
you are a kindred spirit of Hunter Thompson.

No, i went off on a small diatribe as to the
efficatiosness of those that the Left hold as
their Icons..such as Jagger, Thompson, Sarandon,
Castro, Stone, Streisand,Haydewn, Hoffman, Sprinsteen
..ad nauseum...They don;t have to be Marxists..just
Devolutionary and "Counter-culture" without a Clue.
AKA: Anarchist

This is, indirectly, the point I was raising in my first post: you can appreciate someone's art without being a kindred spirit. The fuss over the Stone's song is caused by people forgetting this. What, is Ted Nugent the only performer we should ever listen to?

Jagger, Thompson, Sarandon, Castro, Stone, Streisand,Haydewn, Hoffman, Sprinsteen...

Lumping entertainers in with Castro detracts from the gravity of his crimes. On any moral scale, being an odious tyrant is exponentially worse than composing The Ghost of Tom Joad or starring in The Way We Were. (Well, worse than the first one anyway).

They don;t have to be Marxists..just Devolutionary and "Counter-culture" without a Clue. AKA: Anarchist

Strictly defined, an "anarchist" would be opposed to Marxism. There's nothing wrong with being an anarchist against illegitimate authority.
