He sings "Back Home Again In Indiana" at the opening ceremonies for the Indianapolis 500. He didn't make the 2012 race due to some medical issues, but he's a tradition there.

Isn't he a Hollywood conservative? I could have sworn I read something about that in the past couple of years. Just wondering with his name being brought up here.
