The electronic music superstar approves of the DNC and its host city. And alcohol.
From his blog, originally posted at blender.com and re-printed at The Huffington Post:
"The DNC convention is, simply, spring break for Democrats. Denver in August is like Cancun in March, minus Señor Frog's and wet t-shirt contests. People come here to drink. And drink. And when they're done drinking they network for a little while. And then they start drinking again. It's a convention lubricated by sweet, sweet liquor, the cause and solution to all of life's problems (to quote Homer). (Simpson).
The speeches have been great. Well, the ones I've seen. The Governor of Montana's speech was like an awesome late night infomercial for Democratic policy initiatives. And Hillary's speech was just great. She clearly endorsed Obama, and clearly stated that for the Democrats to win in November they need to unite behind Obama. That was nice. Although her orange pant suit was odd. It looked like something a Japanese traffic cop would wear in a Beastie Boys video."

Well, this morning seems to have brought out some early writers with a bad case of the vapors.
Don't like his music? Don't buy it!
Don't like his opinions? Don't read or listen to 'em! Don't think he has as much of a right to express himself as our august panel of internet commentators? Well, you're entitled to your opinion... just as he is. And it appears he's getting about as much coverage (or space) as you are. The difference, I guess, is that he's not saying what you do "stinks" or that "somebody" should kick in your face. How about a little civility, friends?
