lobonse, Does the :D imply that you like the idea of him being a homophobe? It could be construed as such.

Too much time on your hands? No, it doesn't.

Out of all the 'fanfares' that throughout history have been written and perfomed for the bombastic entrance of a monarch,leader, or royalty, it's comforting that, the best fanfare ever, was written for US, the common folk.

HUMANISTS RULE !. The sad fact is, no we don't.

[ssdavidson2]

No, it's an anthem to the same humanism out of which his socialism emerged. And just so you know, biographical criticism, where you claim the obvious -- the artist's biography -- as a determiner of art, is handy for conversation and popular culture banter, it almost always misses the point. That's why it's known as the most basic and shallow of critical approaches.
