Moby: "Democrats are like Radiohead, Republicans are like Ashlee Simpson."
This is from Moby's online journal:

"you know what politics is/are like in the united states?
it's like pop-music
example a: pop-music.
republicans are like ashley simpson, and democrats are like radiohead. radiohead fans will forever be mystified as to why someone would buy an ashley simpson cd, but ashley simpson's handlers/managers understand what the lowest common denominator are looking for and they give it to them. radiohead fans think 'that disposable pop music is terrible, and someday people will see the error of their ways and buy radiohead cd's instead of ashley simpson cd's', meanwhile ashley simpson and her managers are selling millions of records…

my point?
yes, radiohead are better than ashley simpson."

Wow. Who knew?

2. I saw Moby play last Monday...

...at the Planned Parenthood-sponsored concert at the Beacon Theater in New York. It was an awesome event w/Lou Reed, Lewis Black, Chuck D, and lots of other people I can't remember at the moment.

Never been into Moby much, but I admire his politics.

4. this is a pretty good analogy
I do look at my conservative friends and sometimes wonder; don't they see what i see? How can they miss it?

But I guess they do.
