I, too, am a young musician (and I am in an "extreme death metal" band as well). People see tattoos and automatically think "liberal". When I tell them that I am more conservative than Republicans, or start talking about gun control, the drug war, social security, income tax, etc... it totally blows them away!

I usually have to explain to them that freedom loving people who are not "Alex Keaton" type guys are usually called "libertarians" and that being a Young Republican doesn't mean you swill champagne at the yacht club or some crap like that.

Personally, the best is watching their heads nearly implode during a rational debate. Something most liberals can not deal with!

bc2 says metal forever!
