When you read this, the presidential elections will have been decided, but this interview was too good to get unnoticed. Lemmy Kilmister was interviewed by Rolling Stone on the eve of election day, and among other things, Lemmy had to give his two cents about the candidates. After hearing a comment made by Chuck Berry, who was recalling Obama’s victory in 2008 – ‘My dad said, 'I don't know if we'll live to see it but one day we will [have an African-American President] – and I thank God that I have’ – this is what the Motörhead frontman had to say with his graveling voice:
‘I would have said America wasn't ready for it. And I don't think they were, because they're trying to drag him down now. I mean, the poor fucker's only just gotten rid of all that George Bush shit that he left, or is trying to. And he's being stonewalled by the fucking Congress all the time. I don't know how he's gotten anything done. They should be glad. I mean the alternative is Mitt Romney. Please, please don't vote for Mitt Romney. Fuck him. Repeal abortion law is the first thing he'll do. Fucking monster.’
Fucking monster! That’s super nice, Lemmy is thinking about us, women! Oh yeah, later in the interview, he is declaring that ‘sex is fun. It’s the most fun you can have without laughing’, so I see where he is going, the Republican candidate definitively doesn’t look like a good fit for Lemmy’s wild lifestyle. But he is quite a character, a Nazi memorabilia collector, and a total Obama supporter? You have to love him, Lemmy may be 66 but he still wants to have fun, go on with his bachelor-party life, and he always has strong opinions about everything.
One last thing, he is not impressed by Muse, but this is a whole different story!
