webcat1969 you obviously take your education from American TV! Go educate yourself on the term "socialism" and what it means before you go and get "all frustrated." The DMB has always been "socialist" in that the band members have always shared equally in the proceeds of the band and have contributed both musically and charitably in the same way. We do not have "socialism" in this country...We have "Corporate Socialism." What is "yours" goes into private corporate accounts...
What you do Dave is charity, not socialism. You do it because you can and you want to. In a world of socialism the government takes what is yours and decides what to do with your money. If you were to get your way of socialism you would no longer have the freedom to choose what organizations get your money. There's a GIANT difference between charity and socialism. Please, please, please stick to music. Your so good at it. Leave politics to the Weiner's of the world!
I completely admire, respect and revere this man's songwriting and guitar playing. I could be his biggest fan. As soon as he opens his mouth about politics he makes want the grab him by the shoulders and shake the bat crap out of him! What Dave is saying is so hypocritical and it really frustrates me ! Your making a living off of capitalism pure and simple. EVERYTHING you have you EARNED through capitalism. Nobody socialized the music industry so you could have a piece of somebody else's success
You'd be hard pressed to find a bigger DMB fan than I, but I do not share his political views about liberalism and socialism. And yet I can still LOVE his music and appreciate his talent and respect him. Why can't we do this more rather than be so divided?
I really like Dave but his political views are off in my opinion. He shouldn't associate warmth and respect, with socialism.... They dont go hand in hand
@flubberjibbel - Agree...I hope this time around he is less willing to align himself with this "miserable failure" of a president. If so, then I may continue to respect his music but certainly not his intelligence.
hes right, the media in america is like the group of lying, greedy popular minority in high school whove taken over the faculty studio and never interviews students with truly different opinions
@seannn111 I agree. It seems all artistic types are left wing leaning. I think its probably a left/right brain thing. The same brain wiring that makes them creative seems to correlate strongly with being socialistic.
I love Dave for his honesty, his wit, and his courage to say what most won't. Thanks Dave, you are truly one of the great beings living on this Earth. I'm glad you are here with us.
I dig his philosophy on being chilled out and warm to people but his political views are another matter. The idea of "social progress" and "socialism" shared by him and too many other people usual translates to a bunch of crooked ass politicians spending tons of money and buying votes with handouts. That isn't social progress. It's being bought and sold in the political marketplace. Obama isn't a bad president because he's black. He's a bad president because he's a bad president. Bush was too.
@LibertyAtYourService Like how republicans help corporations, and then corporations help republicans? The rich have been getting richer since 1980. The middle class has shrunk and the poor has grown. There has been a redistribution of wealth to the top. Yet people like you get upset when others talk about helping the little guy.
Here are the songs that are featured in this video:
0:00 "Why I Am"
0:15 "Lying in the Hands of God"
0:49 "Squirm"
1:14: "Stay or Leave
1:46: "Why I Am"
1:55: "Alligator Pie"
2:15: "Baby Blue"
2:45: "You Might Die Trying"
Because people keep asking about the songs in this video...
