Like, wow dude. Righteous! Kewl!
LOL,
Except for dating yourself with the Peter Paul & Mary reference, I initially thought you were one of the idiot college students I have to listen to every day.
Anything goes, whatever makes you feel good, regardless of its affect on society.
I'm not saying I'm a Conservative political correctness nazi.
I don't do Macarthian research on music artists or movie stars. In reality, I almost prefer NOT knowing their political view points, as I suspect I'd become a shut-in if I actually knew how liberal most of them are.
But if there's an artist that I like and follow, and I'm made aware of the fact that they're on the side of the bad guys, then I no longer vote for them with my dollars.
As implausible as it sounds, if there was an incredible Islamikazi rock group that was giving all their money to Al-Queda, would you still buy their records?
In Jimmy's case, I happened to read the Clintoon era Notell Motel Lincoln Bedroom guest list and Jimmy was on there. That bothered me, so I did a little more research and found out that he was a big Clintoon supporter.
That was the last time I gave Jimmy any money.
I haven't burnt my Jimmy LP or CD collection, and I still occasionally enjoy his music, albeit with a twinge of disapointment.
He's a smart guy, he may yet see the light.
Good one. I haven't bought a rock CD made from anyone past the 1985 era. Actually I know well what some support maybe more than you. Why did Kerry Livgren and another member of Kansas quit the industry? MTV? Forget it. MTV is likely one of the most damning things going. But at the same time I can listen to Kristofferson and appreciate his lyrics. My music taste is varied I also liked John Hartford. BTW some of the best songs ever written were by scoundrels. Amazing Grace, I saw the Light,to name a few. I didn't like Hank Williams lifestyle but his music was fine. I'll buy Hank SR CDs and older Hank JR ones.
Yea even ol Willie Nelson I reckon is not good enough to meet the standard of some. But then again The Troublemaker album was likely his best work ever with Red Headed Stranger second to it. No I don't like a lot of Willie's behavior or projects either but I did buy his album with a message I could support. I learned to play a gituar listening to that album.
I don't know what I'll do if Ricky Skaggs, Emmylou Harris, Allison Krauss, or even Tom T. Hall are labeled liberals. Yea I do I'll still buy the music. But I'll vote against their political party the same way I vote against many Republicans also. That doesn't mean I won't but gas from my liberal neighbors gas station either. I'm not electing them to office I'm buying their labor or product. Now if that product is something I find offensive like a product of Islamikazi rock group then i won't but it for the same reason I will not buy many rock albums. The Content.
