Some of the views that he spouts off about makes me feel ill. I'm almost beginning to think that his music should probably be banned from rock radio stations across all of North America - and probably also Europe (if they even do play him). What are your thoughts of this guy? Do you know any other musicians that hold offensive views? Well, there is also Richard Wagner with his antisemitism - but I'm not a classical music listener, anyway. Also, I wonder how many people have difficulty listening to Phil Specter's music - after having been convicted on a murder charge.

There was a punk rock group called Skrewdriver, who actually embraced such ideas. In the end, I believe people have a right to listen to whatever music they like - and I would not judge someone for liking The Jonas Brothers, as long that person isn't forcing me to listen to them. Actually, I never even heard the band - but they are part of a musical genre that I don't care for. However, I would be a leery of someone who happens to be a big fan of Skrewdriver - or anyone else who embraces racism ideals.
