Anyone else hear Beck is a scientologist?

Just heard that from my friend, and can't find any confirmation anywhere on the net. Not that it would affect the appeal of his music, just kind of surprising given the progressive, irreverent and kind of counterculture quality of a lot of his lyrics.:shrug:

2. I think that it's listed on the Scientology site.

I've read it somewhere before. I believe that they said that he was born into it.

I'm glad he doesn't feel the need to "enlighten" us about the evils of psychiatry.

7. Really???

Wow. But he's such a hip, intelligent dude!

Regardless, because he doesn't force his beliefs on others he can practice any faith/religion he wants. I still will dig his music to the fullest.
