Y’know, sometimes the enemy of my enemy is, well, dog gone it, he’s STILL my enemy.
I do enjoy a lot of his songs though, and I really like my “In the Flesh” concert DVD. But like most artists, his opinions on this sort of stuff are goofy.
I saw him in concert in 1988 in Chicago, during his Radio K.A.O.S. tour and while the show was great, he made one liberal comment after another during the concert. I remember him saying, “let’s give the Democrats a chance this time” (when Dukakis was running) and I remember thinking, “shut up and play you liberal p——!” (and I wasn’t really political then). People started yelling, some cheering, but a lot of booing.
