I can't possibly imagine political aspect of writing music. Oh wait,

Peter Gabriel did it with "Biko". Right :)
Hehe!
Why does it always, whatever we're discussing, come back to PG/ Genesis on this list? Very strange! I don't mind coz I'm a huge prog fan and my band have a running gag about Genesis (and the Jesuit Order, who are every bit as good for a gag).
I suppose that the whole PG/Genesis versus the Linux audio world came to a head when PG flew Paul out to have him demonstrate Ardour to him. What song was in your head on the flight over las- do you remember? Watcher of the Skies? I can only presume it wasn't quite what Pete was after at the time otherwise we'd have some marketing machine going right there.
Maybe we should have a separate LAU/LAD for those who prefer Collins Genesis? ;)
