It seems a disproportionate number of musicians are liberals, and it might be entertaining (pun intended) to see how they put themselves into a self-contradictory pickle, however a stalwart few use their axes for conservative purposes. (Shameless plug: see my "Redneck Revolution".)
And I would disagree on principle with the imperious, draconian way in which even the most well meant of scarce material regulations are carried out. It doesn't matter whether it's my political friend or enemy who suffers the most from it, it's just plain wrong. Paperwork errors, in particular, ought to be granted an ample chance to be corrected before deeming an otherwise permissible imported item verboten. And if an insignificant portion of a composite item can't be documented as compliant and can be removed without damage, that should be the only part that is barred from completing the import process.
That is true. I remember watching part of a concert by John Denver on PBS (don’t judge) and he was using a guitar made of curly Koa wood. Koa is a rare timber that only grows on the Hawaiian islands, IN THE RAIN FOREST.

Music is an abstract in many ways and that is how libs think. Most conservatives are “black and white” type of thinkers who take a “just the facts” approach to things. Great for politics and issues of right and wrong. Not so great for creativity.
That is NOT to say that Conservatives aren’t creative. Far from the case. Just that the lib mindset is geared more to thinking in a less structured ‘outside the box’ way. Then there’s the drugs and groupies...
And yes, I know some will misinterpret what I meant ;)
