Of course. One of the best things about scene music: all liberal, all the time.

So BRTD, what other things need to be "all liberal, all the time"...will this go to how you like your potatoes? Brown booze or clear booze or gasp NO BOOZE? Are goatees conservative or liberal too?

It never occurred to you that the main aspect of things might just be divorced from politics and enjoyable in their own right?

What's next? Can't watch a John Wayne movie because he voted for Barry Goldwater? Planet of the Apes is pointless because Charlton Heston became a wingnut? Is Gran Torino rendered moot because Eastwood's a Republican who lambasted Obama? Is the films general message against racism, violence , and war now suddenly void because the director's no liberal?

Yeah I'm actually not a fan of any of those. In fact I boycotted Gran Torino when it first came out specifically because of Eastwood's politics.

I don't know if your comment is to be taken ironically, but some musicians are extremely conservative, such as Gene Simmons or Pat Boone.
Many Most musicians, on the other hand, are socially liberal, while being fiscally moderate or even conservative at the same time, such as Adele, TLC, 50 Cent, LL Cool J or Madonna.

True lefties among singers (like Cher or Michael Jackson) are a rarity.

And what does that have to do with the type of music I listen to?

BRTD's life could, with minimal changes, be written as a dark satire on the life of a modern liberal.

How many modern liberals are Ingress-playing, hardcore show-going evangelical Christians though? And removing those aren't really "minimal changes".
