And, apparantly, John Lennon was a communist ( oh yeah, I forgot, Pearl Jam even plays one of his songs..." Gimme Some Truth " ).

ok,
i dont know who you are or what you know about Pearl Jam,
but while nothing you typed is wrong,
there is more to the band than that.
same with Audioslave.
they hate President Bush.
Im guessing Billy Corgan might not fall in line with all my political beliefs,
but that does not stop me from appreciating his artistic abilities.
what made lennon cross that line from being an artist with political views to a communist is that he actively provided aid and comfort to the enemy(plus, he just flat out sucked as a musician).
You dont see Ed Vedder or Chris Cornell hanging out with that nutcase in North Korea.
they probably hate him more than President Bush.
You can call me hypocritical if you want,
but I know where I stand and my conscience is clear.
the only artists that probably believe what I believe politically are country singers and they do much more harm to our country than Ed Vedder's useless rantings.
i can assure you of that.
