"Johnny Ramone, punk's sole big-name Republican, became the right-wing's answer to Michael Moore or the Dixie Chicks when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two years ago, and he announced from the podium: "God bless President Bush, and God bless America."

I'm surprised that someone from the Ramones would be pro-republican. And Vincent Gallo being a Republican just smacks me of hypocrisy, if you take the kind of movies he makes into consideration.

vincent gallo is just plain nuts.
i don't see that anyone could possibly take him seriously at this point...

I saw only one movie of his. He doesn't interest me in the least but I was aware of him as this wannabe alternative American figure - which has now been dashed.
