Nietzsche was a right-winger? Seems a little facile, unless you buy wholesale into the myth his nazi sister built.

But what Country musicians are going to develop toxic right wing politics in their middle-to-old age that don't already have them?

not to derail but while many of nietszche's insights can indeed be valuable for emancipatory politics, he himself was a bit of a reactionary. i mean his first book was all about how the weak, supine west has lost its way and needs to be more like the violent, manly ancients, and the stuff about slave morality in genealogy takes quite a bit of twisting to get anything resembling a left-wing perspective out of it
again i think what this thread is really getting at is that there is an expectation for musicians/artists to be leftwing, and so when one expresses right wing politics, it look intersting

Bieber is way past the threshold. His mom is an anti-reproductive freedom nutter and he's a member of a megachurch cult

I love arguing that Nietzsche wasn't right-wing but I'm not gonna do it on this thread.
I know a right-wing guy who surprised me as a fan of System of a Down back in their heyday. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.
