anecdotal, but I also know a staunch repub lawyer who once showed us his most played list - it was all Led Zeppelin. In his case, tho, I think he had an older brother who formed his tastes.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite stories involves liberal writer Eric Alterman who ran into conservative ratfucker Brent Bozell at a restaurant before a Springsteen show in DC. When Alterman expressed surprise that Bozell was going to see Bruce, he replied "All my favorite entertainers are Communists."
ReplyDeleteThis actually happened. :-)
Physical Graffiti is a great Zep album though.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first week, maybe the first issue, of the right wing Washington Times had a column by Phyllis Schlafly about the (gawdawful) son "I've Never Been To Me" and how it was a desperate cry for help from all of the women injured by feminism. I knew right then the newspaper would bring me hours of right wing looney joy. Thank you Rev. Moon.
