Nothing is worse than young, rebellious rockers drying out, ageing and then endorsing Right wing politicians. Today we have Dave Mustaine, who after getting kicked out of Metallica in like 1982, released an album called "killing is my business... and business is good." Most sane people grow out of thrash metal by the time they are 14 or 15, but Dave Mustaine is still doing it at 50.
In 1992, he covered the Democratic Convention Which can be seen here, he expressed his frustration at the political system. By 2012, he was endorsing Rick Santorum, saying in a MusicRadar interview that whoever gets through the Republican Nomination, he hopes that a Republican will be in the White House after 2012. It's not such a surprise, one shrivelled up, born-again Christian rocker supporting an intolderant fundamentalist Christian is pretty much to be expected. Santorum is one of those guys who is anti-gay rights that he must be gay. Nobody comfortable with their sexuality would spend so much time and effort denouncing other peoples sexuality.
Let's face it, anyone who got kicked out of Metallica for being an asshole is themselves an asshole. Luckily, no one will listen to him, because he's a washed up old crick. Just retire and shut up.
