Can anyone name a good musician who's a conservative?

The Kinks (sort of)
Were they actually conservative during the 60s and 70s or are they just a few baby-boomer sellouts?

Rush, Ted Nugent, Ramones, ...yeah, it's a short list (and you could make good arguments against two of them)...there are others though.
Ah yes...I'm seeing a correlation between the decline of rock in the 70s and the political views of its artists.

Knowing

It was actually pretty good, though knowing a lot of the crap people like on here I suspect most here would hate it. Tongue
I saw it; it was completely over-dramatized, pseudo-intellectual, and lacking in meanginful diaglogue.

Nicholas Cage's acting, however, perhaps was a comedic performance worth watching.

Koyaanisqatsi

Has anyone else here seen this film?  Quite the rarity, but it's very interesting.  The "narrative" is crafted entirely in visuals and music.  There is no dialogue; it's like a multi-dimensional symphony.  Koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi word meaning "life out of balance," and the film attempts to portray modern technological society as such.  If anything the film is enfeebled by the fact it was made in the 1980s, and thus the technology that seemed overwhelming back then seem rather mild now.
