Kim Gordon joins Obama Youth

But what do noise/punk/grunge pioneers Sonic Youth think of the 2008 Democratic race? Kim Gordon is “inspired” by Barack Obama, that’s what! She will support him, she tells Wonkette’s Liz Glover … even though Gordon admits Obama and Hillary are basically the same, as far as politics

i would assume people would get less uptight about this one then about her last interview with wonkette

"she used to be cool" ?

She still fucking is douchebags!

pantophobia · 02.09.2008, 12:17 AM

yeah that did seem a bit tart to put a paltry tag as that on to someone nice enough to give you a 2 minute sound byte

✌➬ · 02.09.2008, 12:29 AM

Now I know I voted for the wrong person. I want to recast my vote for Obama.

atsonicpark · 02.09.2008, 07:55 AM

Obama's finished. Just hang it up.

uhler · 02.09.2008, 11:30 AM

she's right clinton and obama are about the same. that's why i didn't vote. but it wouldn't have mattered anyway in florida.

ChocolateJesus · 02.09.2008, 11:45 AM

I have never ever ever been influenced in any way by what a rock star thinks about politics. even a rock star from a great band that I love. Same goes for any kind of celebrity endorsement of a candidate. I appreciate the fact that it provides exposure, but I really could give a fuck what any of them think about politics. Come to think of it, I really would just rather not think about politics at all. It makes my head hurt. That could be the hangover, though....

flophousefloozie · 02.09.2008, 12:57 PM

Haha, all those little SY cliches posted on there are hilarious.

SY hasn't made a good album since Kathleen Hanna was in their music videos.

Yes, she really made the band what it was.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to pantophobia again.

Everyneurotic · 02.09.2008, 03:15 PM

omg!!!!! i need to get nationalized as a u.s. citizen so i can vote for obama and be a real sonic youth fan!!!!!

sonic life!!!!!!!!

atsonicpark · 02.09.2008, 05:05 PM

See, my thing is, how is this even newsworthy? Does this actually influence/affect people's lives? "Man, I'm so happy to know the miniscule details of Kim's sonic life!" I mean, does it really matter?

I think the world would be a better place if we all just stopped paying attention to each other and minded our own business. It doesn't matter who you vote for -- that's your business, and it should be something you keep to yourself. Sadly, I think everyone just influences everyone else. Obvious but true.

flophousefloozie · 02.09.2008, 05:18 PM

Yeah, that's true. Obviosuly not how she meant it, but if we kept those things to ourselves, then votes would be based solely on individual preference.
Then again, many regretable votes are made by ignorance. When I vote for my country's leader, my decision is based on the opinions of people I respect, as well as my own observations.
Of course, I'm speaking about people I respect and KNOW. (Not Kim Gordon, though I do have respect for her in many certain ways).

pbradley · 02.09.2008, 05:48 PM

At least she isn't behind Ron Paul. Like a number of boardies.

barnaclelapse · 02.09.2008, 11:16 PM

For some reason, I don't get quite the same sensation of pure evil with Obama as I do with Hillary.

!@#$%! · 02.12.2008, 03:24 PM

vote, marylanders, vote!

krastian · 02.12.2008, 03:50 PM

pantophobia · 02.12.2008, 04:08 PM

Yes I think the word for this is life. The great thing with this world is if you want to live a isolationist lifestyle you can do so. Be a hermit. But to type on a message board you are infact living your life with others and in turn affecting others and also being affected.

you can only do that if you're independently wealthy or are somehow especially clever and can earn an income without dealing with people. its not like there's anyplace you can go and get lost and live off the wilderness.

I'm aware of at least one hermit that lived in the mountains of California.
