"I remember Michael Stipe in '88 taking out full page ads (and this was at the height of REM's popularity you might recall) urging people to vote for Dukakis. I remember Springsteen four years before that (again, at the height of HIS popularity) attacking Reagan.

Neither did their candidate a damn bit of good."

Thankfully, this is still America. Stipe and the Boss are fully permitted to express their views. And since money talks in this country, they're within their rights to spend some of their bank accounts on ads supporting their guy.

But why should I suspect any other attitude from a guy who's got G. Gordon Liddy as his avatar. The guy's a convict for crying out loud...Oh well. This is still America. You can pick your own hero.
