Going on 40 years...

To a certain extent I try to separate musicians personal and political bents from the actual music, if I didn't I probably be stuck listening to, oh I don't know, *goshdarn* Stryper all day.

I've always liked Ted's in your face brutal honesty, from a distance, I've sat near on an interview and he's actually a really funny guy, but like gleek said he leans way too far to the right for me.

He gets a pass for giving me classic rock anthems, well to be honest Derek St. Holmes gets an affectionate nod also.
