His music has always been political Tom. Bruce has always taken
stands and focused his creative talents on them. And he appears to
be much more versed in it than you seem to feel. I'm guessing he's
had political discussions with politicians and a cross-section of
leaders and influencers you only wish you could even have access
to. If he was espousing right-wing views you'd have no problem what-
so-ever and would be silent, and that's what is so comical here.
Your transparency on this issue is your greatest weakness.
Next you are going to say he shouldn't have written "my city of
ruins" because he wasn't a qualified urban planner... Tom, the sign
of a great politician is knowing when you need to cut and run from a
ridiculous position. It's time on this one. I don't often agree
with you, but do give you far more credit than this.
