I didn’t know about Chaka Khan and Alice Cooper. I have learned to not judge a book by its cover. I remember being at a Bush rally in ‘04 and there were two young people tattooed and pierced tot he hilt, complete with mohawks. They were toting signs and wildly cheering President Bush
I really don’t think Neil Peart is a Republican. For one thing, he lives in Canada. He used to be very Ayn Rand-ian in his younger years, but he seems more “progressive” nowadays. I read his autobiography and he didn’t strike me as very right wing. Mostly, he’s just empty now, after the death of his daughter and then his wife.
Did you forget DeeDee Ramone?
Cool!
Brian Wilson

I saw Pat speak twice on politics. He is something of a paleocon, protectionist and against military adventurism. Nice man to boot.
If I recall correctly, Danny Elfman has bashed Sarah Palin on his website, so I doubt he’s a Republican. Then again...
