Moby Predicts Big Apple Will Take A Bite Out Of Republicans

.. One of those protesters is longtime New York resident Moby, who's become more and more politically involved with MoveOn.org and pro-Kerry groups as the election draws closer. He's recorded a pro- peace song with Public Enemy, donated beverages from his new Teany tea line to fund- raising concerts for Kerry's campaign, and he's also played some of those concerts himself. So now, with the Republicans on his own turf, Moby doesn't plan to keep quiet.

"I don't think of myself as being a Republican or a Democrat, left-wing or right-wing," he said. "Like, if there were a fiscally responsible, intelligent, erudite Republican president, I would support him. But I'm so offended by the Bush administration because they're so extremely conservative. What offends me really is their ineptitude, their hubris, their arrogance, and the corruption. I mean, they've created the largest federal deficit, their foreign policy is in shambles, so it's almost like everything they touch, everything they try to do, is disastrous." ..

"There was a summit in Miami, and the protesters were all very respectful," he said. "But a car got set on fire, and no one even knows whether the protesters set the car on fire. That night on the news, all the news outlets showed a car burning and said, 'Protests at the WTO convention.' So it made the protesters look terrible. My fear is that the media are going to try and spin whatever protests happen during the RNC to make the protesters look crazy. But most of the people I know who are going to be protesting are essentially responsible, decent people who are not going to be starting fires or spreading chaos in the streets." ..

4. LOL

Moby does electronic music. He is extremely bright. He lives in a modest apt in NY, is vegan, and has sold his music to car companies to advertise so that he can then give that money to environmental groups.

I am not into his music, but I can hang with this guy.
