Create two ultimate concerts: One for Liberals and one for Neo-Cons
Then decide - which would you want to attend!!

I'll start: For us progressive thinkers we'd start with Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Dixie Chicks, U2

For Conservatives: Ted Nugeant, Wayne Newton, and Toby Keith


Have fun adding to the list

1. Don't forget Charlie Daniels for the knuckledraggers...
if you leave him out he'll shoot you and run over you with his truck.

16. His politics have been all over the place.
http://www.brainyencyclopedia.com/encyclopedia/n/ne/neil_young.html

Like many rock stars of the '60s and '70s, the 1980s were a lean time for Young both critically and commercially as he struggled to remain relevant. After providing the incidental music to the film "Where The Buffalo Roam", a biopic of Hunter S. Thompson, he recorded Hawks and Doves (1980), an uncharacteristically reactionary folk/country record, in step with his public -- and surprising -- support for Ronald Reagan.

And, of course, he supported Ross Perot, if my memory serves me well. He's still a Canadian citizen, so it'd be interesting to see how he'd vote in a Canadian election. The Bloc Quebecois, probably, contrary bugger that he is. :evilgrin:

19. Really?
Fascinating. I might have to move there. According to news reports I've read recently, their in dire need of immigrants. Apparently no one wants to live in Scotland.
