I tend to like it when the artists I see share their politics, because I like it when anybody takes an opportunity to speak up and speak out. Saying nothing gets us nowhere. And yes, I think I'd have a hard time getting into someone with radically different political views, mainly because it would no doubt be reflected in their music in some way, making it something I would have trouble connecting with. Politics and music do mix well though, there are some great political bands out there. But I do understand what was being said. People don't necessarily want to hear it, and even though I usually appreciate it there are times when I don't either. Sometimes you want music to just be pleasure, just be an escape...not a lesson or a lecture. So I do understand the point.
I don't think I've ever heard Dave get to the point that he's being obnoxious about it, though, or taking away from the music. He makes a comment here or there, but it's not like he takes three songs worth of time to talk about it.
The comment at the show was just that..a comment. He said he had to practice saying Bush administration rather than Bush motherfuckers My own thought on that was that motherfuckers works just fine and why change what works?
