In reply to:
so whats his issues?
Mostly political. Tips on how to survive the next four years, for example. Personally, I like the guy's music, and I'm
really not all that conservative. But there's a difference to me between making a point or expressing your view cleverly (say, oh, I don't know...in a song, perhaps?), and beating me over the head with a baseball bat when I paid good money to be entertained.
Frankly, I couldn't possibly care less what his political views are. I resent being made to feel that I'm somehow less of a person or not entitled to like his music because I don't agree with him on some points. He makes artists like Billy Bragg or Michelle Shocked look positively genial. And I really hate that, because he's tremendously talented. I just don't care to hear it.
