Great guitarist who had to turn out to be utter Repuke craziness. Damn, his playing is way cool....but I want to hurl when I think about his politics. Fortunately, he seemed to be in *fairly* solo territory politics-wise when he was with the 'Dan. From Donald Fagen's solo website:

Fagen reveals here that “Mary Shut The Garden Door” - with its hints of “War of The Worlds” type attack - was in fact inspired by another different though still scary invasion. “Actually I wrote that one right after the Republican Convention came to Manhattan,” he recalls. “I’d much rather be fighting aliens - although there are some similarities. I think it’s safe to say that my fears at the time were borne out to the letter.”

But, getting back to "Skunk" and the ilk--what other musicians/artists/etc, if any, are partially or wholly ruined for you because of their politics?
