Public opinion swung back his way somewhat after 9/11 when he was temporarily denied entry to the US because he is a Muslim. (And for seemingly no other reason.) He may have modified his views in recent years since he's been back in the music scene, I don't know.

Good point, so thank God he isn't. I doubt he asks people he collaborates with to fill out questionnaires regarding their various political and cultural views, anyway.

I'd be in the same situation I'm in about Bill Cosby now.

How do you know he isn't? I never noticed an "I'm with Her" bumper sticker on his Tesla. Did he ever state his political leanings one way or other?

He's made disparaging comments about Trump in Vault chat, so one could assume that means he's anti-Trump. Though he also said in an interview during the Blunderbuss tour that he doesn't vote in the U.S. elections because he doesn't believe in the two-party system.

In the Vault chat recently someone asked him if he was going to see the debate and his response was something like (paraphrasing) 'you mean if I am going to see Trump say whatever he wants and still win?', which is a bit anti-Trump, I might say. That does not mean he has to be pro-Hillary tho. Like choosing between a cancer and gangrene.

In Vault chat he called Trump a misogynist and a narcissist, among other things, which gave me a giant clue that he didn't like him. He's also at different times called him a racist and said he was spreading hate. But even if he'd never said all that, all his positions on social issues (such as being on the gender-equality committee) aren't exactly Trumpian.

Considering he said a couple years ago that he doesn't vote, wonder if he's changed his mind for this election.

He also made comments for support of Bernie didn't he? I kinda don't know what they where but I'm sure they are somewhere in the chat logs. It's a shame he got pushed out by all the dirty tricks.

Gotta have something to talk about when he's not touring, so thank YOU for getting the ball rolling.
