From the Dept. of No Surprise: Most Rock Artists Support Obama, Hate Romney

I don’t think it’s much of a generalization to say that most musicians hold liberal views when it comes to politics.  There are some conservatives out there (Johnny Ramone was a hardcore Reagan fan) but they’re far outnumbered.

(There may be many more but a rock musician who comes out in favour of a conservative politician is usually committing career suicide.  They tend to stay quiet.)

With the US election just two weeks away, it’s instructive to look at how things have lined up in the world of Obama vs. Romney.

Endorsing Obama:  Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Foo Figthers, Dave Matthews, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Morello, Silversun Pickups, Grimes and Divine Fits.

Endorsing Romney:  Kid Rock, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down.

Meanwhile NOFX’s Fat Mike has given up on encouraging kids to come out and vote.
