that's probably not the best way to start a conversation about this 
kind of thing...there are barely-veiled insults in there that are 
off-putting to the very people you hope to hear from.

having said that, i'm sure there's plenty of artists who "swing to the 
right".  vincent gallo is one, and i own both his CDs on warp.  i 
wouldn't call his music terribly "progressive", but i like it.  i also 
own several burzum CDs, and that guy is a total right-wing lunatic.  
so glad he's in prison for 21 years.
