Musicians whose political sympathies are to the right

i mean obviously any NSBM

Stephen O'Malley was cool with running white power record ads when he had a zine IIRC but I guess that's more of a hand-wavey libertarian "it's about the art" situation

Tom Araya is a Trump fan (Kerry King is not)

black panther

Curious that so many literary modernists (Eliot, Pound, Wyndham Lewis et al) were on the Right, but so few musical modernists ever have been - I can't think of any offhand.

“As for Webern, he forsook his onetime socialist views to become an unashamed Hitler enthusiast, greeting the invasion of Denmark and Norway with almost orgasmic prose: “This is Germany today! But the National Socialist one, to be sure! Not just any one! This is exactly the new state, for which the seed was already laid twenty years ago. Yes, a new state it is, one that has never existed before!! It is something new! Created by this unique man!!!…Each day becomes more exciting. I see such a good future. It will be different also for me.”

Excerpt From: Alex Ross. “The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century.” iBooks.

Garth Brooks was mentioned at the top of this thread but is that really true? He came out with a pro gay song in 1992, when he was the biggest country star in the world.

LOL, yes, was about to post Webern.

wow that Micah P Hinson guy is fucking stupid

also it was hongro that said Garth so ymmv

Dave Mustaine

Jesse Hughes

Kid Rock

Yet Webern inspired a whole generation of composers who embraced his brand of serialism as a means to ensure that art music could no longer be coopted by genocidal ideologies.

I doubt serialism is 'inherently' left-wing but I can think of very few on the right who care for it, or even take it seriously for that matter.

lol

MPH: what's that thing called when you put your guitar up to...

ABG: Feedback.

What do those initials stand for?

It's not. He's pretty vague about it, and it's unclear to what degree, but while that's insufficient evidence alone, it's pretty clear his sympathies lean more to the left than the right.

it's the quietus interview upthread, micah p hinson xp

lol. ok. I had never heard of this person before. What a moron.

So there's going to be a downside to everything,

and I think Hunter S. Thompson chronicled that a whole lot,

and did it very, very well,

... and were later accused of elitism and authoritarianism.

That's Keith Urban. Brooks is married to fellow country singer Trisha Yearwood who performed at Bill Clinton's first inauguration. The two of them also performed at Al Gore's Live Earth event in 2007.

Ohh

Vincent Gallo was pretty pro bush but no idea how serious this guy is

hell yeah. remember when he went on that English talk show in an American flag tracksuit and talked about how much he loved Ozu and hated the French?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP-03bF1MvQ

Flappy, I love that clip!!

OMG Richard Jobson!

yeah you know it's going to be a totally cordial and normal panel when one of the first things he says is "i sense a little bit of your own personal hangups as a woman that made you incapable of transcending them and enjoying the love story, which is quite evolved and quite modern."

for what it's worth, gary numan:

I genuinely thought that the best option was voting for the Conservatives at the time. But I do regret talking about that because people got really fucking weird about it. At the last election, there was a Scottish newspaper that ran a big feature that had me down as Conservative, which was an absolute bloody lie. I only voted for them that one time and I was so demoralised by what happened and the negative reaction I got for saying I voted Conservative that I get involved very little in that sort of thing now.

(he also hates trump, but he's not american)

also ctrl-f: morrissey

... and were later accused of elitism and authoritarianism.

So are a lot of people on the left tbf.

Have we talked about Pat DiNizio?

He was a Reform Party candidate but I gather his stance was libertarian/right-ish.

I think most Country artists who lean left are pretty quiet, cagey about it, whereas right wingers like Ronnie Dunn (Brooks & Dunn) are pretty loud.

dixie chicks are a cautionary tale

i think a lot of these newer country artists skew pretty left and woke, but they don't come out and say it yeah.

Jason Isbell has clearly stated that he's left.

not that it matters but Rosie from Pram, iirc

I imagine she wouldn't agree.

With it mattering, you mean? I meant it doesn't matter to me. It's not like she's Count Grishnackh

margo price is very anti trump and outspoken about it

i'm not sure if that makes her a leftist though

so is the Pram person right wing or not dudez?

well she is from North Yorkshire and probably has classic gammon dna.

With it mattering, you mean? I meant it doesn't matter to me. It's not like she's Count Grishnackh

No, I meant I doubt she considers herself right wing. If she is, then herself from Stereolab must be too.

Graham Parker; his anti abortion song is called “you can’t be too strong” -_-

whoa! ^ had no idea about Graham Parker.

xpost
Yup. Dick is supposedly *doubly* insured but still incurs monthly $3,000 medical bills.

Tobin Sprout of GBV, at the very best bi-conservaturious.

Ever since the various FB shares revealed this years ago I've chosen to ignore this fact, kind of like how I ignore it when getting together with similarly minded family. Tobin always reminded me of my Ohio cousins etc. anyway.

xpost considering the shitty coordination policies of lots of plans, that's not surprising (albeit infuriating). Often secondary plans have "non-duplication of benefits" rules so instead of just picking up the rest of the tab, they will only pay the difference between what the primary plan paid, and what the secondary plan would have paid if they had been the primary plan. so that could mean if Plan A (Medicare or whomever) paid 80%, and Plan b normally pays 90%, Plan B only adds an additional 10%.

so you could be paying expensive premiums for two plans and STILL be responsible for 10% of your medical costs, which if you're old and have a chronic ailment that requires any kind of expensive recurring inpatient or outpatient care, can add up to excruciating totals.

Wow that sounds so much better than our communist health system

re: dick dale - that sort of thing reminds me of when people quote william s. burroughs to try and prove how horrible gun control is. people, i don't care how good a book naked lunch is, a guy who shot and killed his wife is not a persuasive argument _against_ gun control.

yeah Matthews is a fucking weirdo. sounds like he's gotten even worse. he friended me on FB at one point (I have no idea why) and I dumped him when he started getting really weird. I mean he's not so much just a conservative but like, a fucking crazy person.

i mean, not to say that all crazy people are conservative, but aren't we at the point where it's safe to say that there are no non-crazy conservatives left in america?

jeff flake? mccain? romney? these guys are conservative and not insane racists.

i mean, they might be the only 3 left, but you know what I'm saying.

man, when you're arguing for _john mccain_ as a sensible and not insane conservative things have gotten pretty fucking bad

michael bloomberg?

Exene Cervenka

& Billy Zoom

I know he's already been mentioned upthread, but wow, Jesse Hughes.

No one mentioned John Maus and Arial Pink? Felt like it'd be crowing too much to do so on the Maus thread. Always knew there was something off there

It's funny how in 2003 this did feel like an oddity and now you can't move for the fuckers.

all the Ariel p/JM stuff is either in their individual threads or lost in one of the monthly politics threads

yeah Ariel Pink got excoriated in some other thread recently, or two even.
