Reply #68: It just usually works for me, that I seem to like films and music [View All]

from Democrats, anyway.

John Lennon (and the Beatles), Don Henley (and the Eagles), CSN&Y, Stevie Nicks (and Fleetwood Mack), Bonnie Raitt, Marvin Gaye... all progressive and all favorites.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" (my favorite movie)-- starred Gregory Peck, one of the most progressive actors, politically, of his generation. I can't think of a movie made by Paul Newman that wasn't magnificent. With a few exceptions, the same can be said for the movies of Robert Redford (He directed another of my favorite movies, "The Milagro Beanfield War"). "Moonstruck" (don't know what Cher is, politically, but I know she isn't a Republican). I also like anything that has John Cusack in it ("High Fidelity" was great!), and anything with Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, or Kathy Bates.

Foreign films (love them!) are harder to guage, but I will not watch anything with Gerard Depardieu, because he has admitted belonging to a "rape gang" in his youth, and said he didn't think it was wrong, because "the girls liked it". *shudder* I also avoid films (sadly....) with Sean Connery in them because I read he believes that wives and girlfriends need a good beating every so often to keep them in line.

Think about it... You might already have tastes that allow you to "boycott" painlessly.
