so clearly a lot of folk have kept quiet... and clearly a lot of folk have spoken out AGAINST the bush administration... but, out of curiosity, does anyone know of any modern "intelligent" (just meant to exclude the corporate teen-pop/rap'n'roll/alt.rock scene musings, not that they're not valid... well, ok... they're not. clearly this point could be up for debate, but let's just run with the assumption that these people's public opinions are not wholly their own and thus do not count for this survey... apologies for this incredibly long parenthetical splice...) artists in SUPPORT of the bush administration's policies and behaviour? and let's not qualify 'intelligent' by their opinions on the matter, either, shall we? i just have the impression that modern forward-thinking/underground art 'scene' is almost entirely polarized against the current administration... but i'd like a chance to prove that i've been brainwashed by the 'liberal media'. Vincent Gallo springs to mind as someone i've read to have some fairly strong conservative leanings... but i've no idea as to his position on the current administration. just a curiosity... and i don't feel that it's entirely off-topic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
