You guys are just making excuses for this guy after telling us libs since 2001 that actors and singers should just "shut up and act/sing!" Stop it already and just admit to your hypocrisy. Geeez. Ya can't take one on the chin for once?

If KISS were touring around with Sarah Palin, then yes I would agree. But gene rarely talks politics in public. He has a right to say whatever he wants. The reason why we (conservatives) criticize Springsteen & John (don't call me Cougar) Mellancamp is that they ALWAYS try to slam their political views down our throats. Don't worry, if Gene starts talking more about politics than music then he will be stereotyped with those 2.

Greg Graffin of Bad Religion:

Graffin attended El Camino Real High School, then double-majored in anthropology and geology as an undergraduate at the University of California, Los Angeles. He went on to earn a master's degree in geology from UCLA and received his Ph.D. from Cornell University. The Ph.D. dissertation was officially a zoology Ph.D., supervised by William B. Provine at Cornell. The dissertation was entitled "Monism, Atheism and the Naturalist Worldview: Perspectives from Evolutionary Biology." It is described as being essentially an evolutionary biology Ph.D. but having also relevance to history and philosophy of science.[4]
Greg Graffin spends most of his time in Upstate New York, and teaches Life Science 1 and Earth & Space Sciences 116 (paleontology) at UCLA during the winter or fall quarters of each school year.[5] In a June 2008 interview with Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley, he mentioned that Graffin would be teaching there from January to March 2009.[6]
Greg Graffin received the Harvard Secular Society's "Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism" on April 26, 2008. During the award ceremony he played some acoustic versions of Bad Religion songs as well as songs from his solo career.[7]
Preston Jones, a historian at the Christian John Brown University in Arkansas, sent Graffin an e-mail asking about one of his songs, and Graffin replied. Their resulting year-long e-mail exchange was published as a book in 2006, entitled "Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant? A Professor and Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism & Christianity".[8]
In 2009 Graffin announced that he had co-written a book entitled "Anarchy Evolution" with American Author Steve Olson, which was released on September 28, 2010[9] [10]
He also wrote on his Twitter page that he was filming and co-producing a television series called "Punk Professor".[11]

Quite a bit from some.

Regarding his statements on politics. He never struck me as a political scholar. I think I have read more than once where Gene's main motivation is usually money, so perhaps he feels that under the Obama administration his income will be reduced from oh...say......$10 million a year to $9.6 million a year.

He has no credibility. And he needs to take those stupid sun glasses off.

He is starting to become a caracature of himself. I realize that when you are a rock and roll superstar, it's hard to get old. But he needs to accept it gracefully and let it go. Alice Cooper is old, looks good, and still performs. So do many others. He needs to just LET IT GO.

Shannon certainly looks good since her facelift. Although, she didn't look bad before either.

I wonder what she $ee$ in the guy?

Of course it's a ploy, this guy is about money and money only. This interview is nothing more than self promotion, get with it people!

I wish I could take a lot of my votes back, but you know what, it isn't going to happen. Doesn't matter who our president is or who is in office, just take a look at the past 10 years and the condition of our current economy, it's a joke, and so is Simmons.
