Duran Duran's John Taylor Finally Breaks His Legendary Silence On The Presidential Election

thumbnail icon: Duran Duran's John Taylor Finally Breaks His Legendary Silence On The Presidential Election

John Taylor, founding member and bass player for the band Duran Duran, is a British citizen and incapable of voting in the US presidential election. BUT THAT HASN'T STOPPED HIM FROM EXPRESSING HIS OPINION IN A YOUTUBE VIDEO (thanks for the tip, David). That would already be bad enough if he didn't BRING HIS BASS INTO IT and turn it into AN UNBEARABLE SONG. I just want you guys to know that I will totally understand if you do not click through to watch this video.

For as much as I like Barack Obama, he really turns everyone into the fucking worst.

Whoa people, he "is" playing the bass line to "Girls on Film". Can we at least appreciate that?

I think I could get wrapped up in the emotion of this . He obviously has passion for a belief of change. It really doesn't matter your political view, he wasn't telling you one way or another (sides), he was sharing his passion for this country with you. I rather liked it and it moved me. I am a neutral american you should flame me, I'm the one not quite sure how or who to vote for, or why because I've lost my zest for politics. I think it's been a rotten game of late. I don't admire anyone who hurls insults at another. The two of them might as well wear boxing gloves.

However , because of Mr.Taylors zeal for this country and the thought and heart he put behind it, for him, I just might vote.. his way.(canidate).. he gave me a little faith in what coul be. It's a shame he can't vote, I believe he's lived here quite a while in the good ol' UK.
