Exactly why are so many artists leftists? I don't know the answer, but as tiresome as knee jerk lefties can be, there's something (even more) ridiculous about a struggling bohemian artist who votes Republican.

republicans and conservatives tend to be against fun. and hedonism. and creativity, largely. or at the very least appear to be.

not that i think liberals are very big on art or fun or creativity or hedonism, mind you.

so that leaves few avenues. i find at the very least most musicians i know are firmly NOTBUSH, if not completely clinically paranoid in a illuminati vibe kinda way. i have fun conversations with them, though i get tired of being asked if i'm a republican after a while. (thinking george bush is irrelevant and john kerry is a jackass = republican)
