I too worry about the situation you have in the US, as it tends to spill over to us here in Canada. I remember that time bends towards progress so hopefully this is part of that process.
I only knew of Extreme because of that ballad. Thanks for the education.
I guess it comes as a surprise to me that it is still a surprise to some others that Dylan, in Chronicles, names Barry Goldwater (R-Az) as his “favorite politician” around the period of 1961/62. WTF?
I wasn't huge Extreme fan, but I always really respected them — both because they were stellar musicians, and because they weren't shy about working a really wide array of influences into their music. And yeah, they were definitely a lot more thoughtful than most of their glam metal colleagues.
Hmm, can we say that you are an Extreme-ist? ;-)
Haha, you know it!
Mike Johnson is the love child of Jerry Falwell and Newt (Newt always had a wandering eye). They raised him righteous and in more expensive clothes.
My wife thinks Bettencourt is as cute as a bug. I have to admit he is pretty. But I'll take '70s era Ann Wilson instead.
Music? Johnson is a barracuda... there's the connection.
Clever, B.
I had to look up photos of Bettencourt... not bad. Back then, Mark Slaughter was my guy in the looks department.

It's crazy that their ballads were their biggest hits, when they were such a great glam metal band.
I hope our politics don't infest your lovely country more than they already have, MK.
Extremism in service of music is no vice! 🎶
