he was a rabid leftist....as a teenager though I found his music wild....and of course kids tend to not think too hard about such things as politics.
The more libertarian parts of me likes his 1st amendment stance against Tipper Gore.
There’s a monologue on you can’t do that on stage anymore (I think, but it might be on does humor belong in music), where what he says about Reagan is pretty repugnant. Basically says the best thing you can do when Reagan is on TV is to turn down the volume, point to the TV and tell your kids if he offers them candy or asks them to fight in Nicaragua they should say no.
He basically equivocated fighting in Nicaragua to pedophilia and accused Reagan of same.
