Great music, but sometimes they get to talking very anti-America politics and it really turns me off. I hear enough political talk now days without them sabatoging their own music show.

Yes, I believe that is why on the Forum political discussions aren't permitted. I've seen this Forum outlast a number of others, and it certainly retains a lot more good civility. I recently left a forum that had a Philosophy, Religion, and Politics section. Good heavens, what a dumpster fire.
I tried listening to the podcast as well but quite honestly I am just not a big R. Crumb fan and tend to enjoy a little earlier style of music anyway.
With a username like "Allen's Archive" I should think you would have a lot of records to listen to at home!

I’m not the biggest fan of his art either, but boy does he have some nice records! And his best art IMO are the ones he made of these great blues, jazz, and early country artists. Too bad it’s records a lot of us cannot afford and goes for hundreds on eBay. but he’s a famous artist, I’m sure he has the money for ‘em. Man the Silent generation had it good in the 50s and 60s when these records went for a quarter each!

Robert Crumb may have a great record collection, but that's it...
Personally, he's a sick demented old hippie type leftover from the '60s, and his "art" (for the most part) is a perverse collection of stuff that is abusive to and exploits women...

I’m not gonna argue with that but these pictures are pretty good! When I think of R. Crumb I like to think of this stuff.Curt A wrote:Robert Crumb may have a great record collection, but that's it...

Not saying that he doesn't have some talent... just misdirected...
And Andy, I hope you don't think that my comments had anything, whatsoever, to do with you. By the way, I like his depictions of blues artists as posted...

Yeah, I see many artists that are pretty talented but they do things that make me shake my head.Curt A wrote:Not saying that he doesn't have some talent... just misdirected...
