as a small aside, this is interesting:
researchers categorized music according to pairs of descriptors: Reflective and Complex, Intense and Rebellious, Upbeat and Conventional, and Energetic and Rhythmic.
the upbeat and conventional category which included soundtracks, country, religious and pop, positively correlated with political conservatism, and negatively correlated to political liberalism.
the short of it, speaking very broadly---liberals don't like country music and conservatives do.

and yes---liberals would go bananas if rich lowry said the conservative version of what Jamilah Lemieux said and i suspect some would likely be calling for his head (which is to say, his job).
quote:
In short, people who listen to jazz are smart, liberal, adventurous, and poor; people who listen to heavy metal are smart, liberal, adventurous, athletic, and prone to social dominance; people who listen to Madonna or the “Dancing With Wolves” soundtrack are agreeable, conscientious, conservative, rich, happy, dumb, emotionally unstable, and hot; and people who listen to hip hop are extraverted, agreeable, liberal, athletic, and hot. Well, those are the tendencies at least (I’ve known some smart Madonna fans, though I have to say that they were pretty emotionally unstable).
If they mean "liberal" in the classic sense, then, yes. If it's meant as "opposite of conservative," then, no.
