Kerry or Bush and why?

Actually, there are many bands, including Bruce Springstein and the Dixie Chicks. And I really don't think that JosephM's political views are centralized around his musical tastes, but maybe it is the other way around.

I wasn't specifying Joseph. I was more surprised that NOFX bashes so much, and you know there are people out there basing their views entirely around their music.

Whatever happened to that good ole' Rock N' Roll?

In light of what is said, whatever happened to good ol' be civil when you talk to other people on Chief?

This whole "ugh! he's basing his political views on a punk band!" thing is a waste. The guy can post what he want, and as far as I could tell, he didn't sit there intending to insult anyone.

As Matt said very eloquently, maybe get it back on track...

Edit: Just to clarify, this post wasn't directed at insulting Ryan, which he seemed to gain the misconception of. I apologize for using his post as an example. This is general disgust of the whole fact that one little unique idea can throw everyone off about discussing rock bands instead of politics. Thank you.

The Story of The 20 & Me
by Joseph Matt

It all started two weeks ago when my friend and I were shopping around for CDs. We looked and round and he showed me the Rock Against Bush alblum. I thought it was hilarious, and we listened to it on the way home. It was a good CD with bands like Green Day and Flogging Molly.

I latter decided to buy the CD on my own and found the 20 list, so I decided to share it with you guys here. The 20 list was just in the booklet, I didn't know it was aphiliated with a bad already (NOFX) and I've never heard (both name and music) of theme before.

I bought the CD because of my views and like it. It's foolish when a CD with a 20 list forms your platform. It's how you are raised and your experences that form who you are.

Anyway, that's my .20 on that issue.
