Considering the words of his X post, it seems at least possible to This Writer that he may have had a Damascene conversion of some kind; something may have changed his mind.
I am concerned that this support for Independent candidates seems to have affected only musicians of a certain age (Clapton is 79; Eno is 76).
Are any younger musicians coming out in support of a better way than Establishment politics? If you hear of any, please let me know.
