I am producer a television showabout how the American public feels
about the upcoming election.  I am interested in getting views from
the music community on their prospective and wanted the names of
musicians from both political affliations. These need to be musicians
that would possibly appear on VH1 or MTV.

Hello divastar~

Here is a list of righties and lefties among singers and musicians. As
you can imagine, it was far easier to uncover lefties, without
throwing in country and religious singers, but I think I've got a nice
mix. Please note that while some performers were easy to pin-point
(they performed at party fund-raisers, for example), others are
labeled as liberals or conservatives by their political comments, etc.

Liberals:

Rodney Crowell
Wyclef Jean
Tom Johnston
Russell Simmons
Phil Lesh
Bill Kreutzmann
Barbra Streisand
Willie Nelson
Jon Bon Jovi
the Dave Matthews Band
Angie Stone
Mary J. Blige
Phil Lesh
Mickey Hart
Boz Scaggs
Roy Rogers
Ray Manzarek
Sheryl Crow
Shawn Mullins
James Taylor
John Mellencamp
Wyclef Jean
Bonnie Raitt
Maria Muldaur
Pete Sears
Huey Lewis
Lenny Kravitz
k.d. lang
Paul Simon
Madonna
Moby
?Fat Mike? Burkett
Chris Martin


Conservatives:

Johnny Ramone
Jessica Simpson
Brian McKnight
Third Day
Three Doors Down
98 Degrees
Amy Grant
Bellamy Brothers
Brad Paisley
Britney Spears
Brooks & Dunn
Canibus
Carolyn Dawn Johnson
Creed
Destiny?s Child
Fleetwood Mac
George Strait
Gladys Knight
Gloria Estefan
