perhaps i am in the minority but i see a clear cut line between things i enjoy for entertainment (buffy the vampire slayer, for instance), and things that i enjoy for philisophical qualities (Robert Anton Wilson, for instance). I listen to a lot of music by artists whom have decidedly strong political views but in all honesty, i could give a flying fuck what they think of the world situation or public policy of this government or that. I watch CNN for my news, i listen to music for aesthetic values. and don't get me started on these movie stars who think because their last film made a gagillion dollars that they are qualified to speak out on political issues. everyone is free to express views but don't be a sheep and follow someone just because they are popular. learn the facts and form your own opinions. just my opinion of course, decide for yourself which idols to worship and ideals to accept. lysergic
