Anonymous So was the big secret in the thread supposed to be that Johnny Ramone was a conservative, or is there more?

kellychaos I'd be elitist too if I could afford it.
Mar 17th, 2004 10:28 PM
Ronnie Raygun ....and?

The_Rorschach You say that as though its something I shouldn't be proud of.

Curious.
Mar 17th, 2004 09:36 PM
Ronnie Raygun At least you're man enough to admit it.

Bravo!
Mar 17th, 2004 09:25 PM
The_Rorschach Don't let my lack of social scruples fool you Ronnie, I've always been an elitist. Weeping, creeping Christ, I drive a Jaguar. I am an admitted Anglophile.

Ever have I ascribed to aristocratic and patrician ideals, principles and tastes.

Moved up? How elitist of you.

The_Rorschach Depleted domestic reserves right? I think that is what I read anyway. . .

Gas station attendants, being well versed in world economics and geo-political issues, know full well why the price of gas per gallon is as high as it is ... seriously.

And yes, my sig is a joke.

You sad fuck.

I'm not a baggage handler.

Well, if we're going to talk about this, I hope your signature's some kind of joke.

kellychaos That's a good point. If a band is already political, then the fan base is, consequently, politically-minded and it is part of the reason they enjoy the bands in the first place. From there, it becomes a "chicken and the egg" problem. Is the band popular because people already shared their political views and said band is their voice or did the band push their views and the fanbase become tainted or, in the extreme, become the band's voice? Or am I over-emphasizing the political influence of bands? With the preponderance of "Rock The Vote" commercials I've been seeing, I'd say that I'm pretty close to the mark.
Mar 16th, 2004 12:17 PM
Protoclown 1. The Clash fucking kicked ass.

2. What about political bands? Are you telling me that a band like the Dead Kennedys shouldn't have talked about politics when that was a good part of what they sang about? I'd say Pearl Jam is a fairly political band too, so why would it be out of place at all for Eddie Vedder to voice his opinion on politics?

Since when is The Velvet Underground a punk band?

Helm I remember ronnie saying he liked starsailor.
Mar 15th, 2004 11:10 PM
KevinTheOmnivore No, we BOTH love the mars volta, but YOU like every lame brit-pop band that comes out....
Mar 15th, 2004 06:07 PM
Ronnie Raygun No, that was The Mars Volta.
Mar 15th, 2004 05:25 PM
KevinTheOmnivore Weren't you all about Starsailor or something...?
Mar 15th, 2004 05:23 PM
Ronnie Raygun ...actually, music sometimes does......quite often in fact.
Mar 15th, 2004 05:02 PM
kellychaos How about music for it's own sake and fuck all else? I don't know Chic Corea's political viewpoints but his greatest hits CD is on the disk carousel as we speak. I know that if some musician had some extreme political views that diametrically opposed my own, then it would taint my enjoyment of his/her work; therefore I avoid delving into this line of thought as pertains to music. People often disappoint, music never does.
