That's great, but did it save him any money on his car insurance? |

You might be thinking about "Slumber Party Massacre."
That may be the union reps, however I have worked on construction sites that were union shop (Detriot area, Great Lakes Steel) where the rank and file were heavily conservative. To the point of calling Ronaldus Magnus the greatest president.
I really think that the term "South Park Conservative" is not a good one. The people who acrive to that lable are much closer to "small 'L' libertarians." They believe in smaller government, tend to be fiscal conservatives, believe in expansive views on the Constitution (meaning that the government's powers should be restricted, while individual liberties should be expanded.)
In a lot of ways, they could be called fiscal conservative and social liberals.

Well, politically they are (well, they were) communist. My cousin was on tour with them in Mexico, when they went to play a benefit concert in the south of Mexico for the Zapatista rebels, and they were thrown out of the country... Well, maybe chased out would be a better term.

Interesting read ping
I guess KMFDM didn't, as the weenies have a new CD.
Rage was surprised when concert goers in the former Soviet Union didn't want to hear their communist pontificating.
Morello is a great guitarist, but his indoctrination was completed at Harvard.
No thanks.
Henry Rollins is no conservative and no fan of Pres. Bush. At best, he's a libertarian, but leans to the left on many issues. I heard him on Mancow not too long ago and he seemed to be spewing the same left-wing drivel that Al Franken, et al spew on a daily basis.
I've never really cared for Morello. Most of what I've heard of Tom is stuff that Adrian Belew and others were doing 20+ years ago.

Eric, your band needs MORE COWBELL!
Interestingly, a lot of rock bands that are conservative are also (almost always) pro-gun. Perhaps that provides insight into WHY they're conservative. Take Nugent, for instance...
Rock & Roll ping
I saw a few shows on that Alice/Halen tour. Up here, back in the early 90s, I recall a band called Warrior Soul open up for Queensryche; Warrior Soul was booed mightily for spewing anti-American rhetoric. I later read that they were booed in many cities for their speeches/poetry readings. Unrelated, their drummer was murdered in 2005.
Gotta hand it to the guy.....he's a THINKING man!!
Yup. Metal and hard rock is full of conservatives:
Alice Cooper
Sammy Hagar
Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P.) and Vinnie Paul of Pantera
CC DeVille and (possibly) Bret Michaels of Poison
Kid Rock
Ted Nugent (of course)
Iced Earth
Slayer
I'm one of those guilty people with a Tool bumper sticker on one side and a W on the other, and yes, it does turn heads.
Good, because (good) heavy metal is NOT pop...and most of them are not talentless at all.
It's people like you that give conservatives the stereotypes of being stuffy and "out of touch."
