I see it this way: There are musicians who don't do / approve of drugs. There are musicians who don't give a **** about politics. There are musicians who aren't doing it for the money. You'll be hard-pressed to find a musician with no interest in love or sex at all. I'm sure they exist, but there have to be far less of those than the others.
Rush is one of those bands. Neil Peart refuses to write about love. He finds it to be nothing more than a chemical response to attraction and the need to reproduce. I love that band, but that seriously depresses me.
