Agnostic Front - they're a legendary NYC hardcore/punk band with some conservative views; their anti-welfare song "Public Assistance" caused a lot of controversy back in the late 80's

OMG!!! A fellow freeper who knows about Agnostic Front! I remember that their lead singer (whose name eludes me) was a Cuban American who also caught flack for being a staunch anti-Communist.

As far as THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND EVER (aka the Ramones) is concerned it went like this: Joey was a Democrat, Johnny is a Republican and Dee Dee was apolitical. I don't know about Tommy, Marky or Richie though.

Johnny got Joey to vote for Reagan. That was one reason that Joey was disappointed when Reagan visited the German cemetary.

I've seen the new album but haven't heard it. I read or saw an interview with Joey after the band ended where he talked about watching some of the women on cable. I thought that he had said something about a girl from the Weather Channel. It must have been something about that financial show.

Yeah, AF kick a**. Their new material on Epitaph isn't all that good, however. It's ironic how many people in the punk/hardcore scene (especially the MaximumRocknRoll twits) attacked Miret for being anti-Marxist and anti-Castro while overlooking that they'd be the first to get sent off to the gulag in a Communist society. Heck, I actually encountered these crust punk kids online who called themselves "Anarchist Communists" (an oxymoron if I've ever heard one; Lenin and the Bolsheviks killed every "counterrevolutionary" Russian anarchist they could get their hands on shortly after taking over).
