Justin's Political Corner

Muse are unhappy with the way American right-wingers, particularly Glenn Beck, have embraced their music, The Guardian reports. In an upcoming interview with the Observer on Sunday, singer Matt Bellamy singles out Beck’s affinity for the band’s 2009 album The Resistance, and criticizes the conservative radio host for using the single “Uprising” in rightwing conspiracy-theorist videos on YouTube.

“In the U.S. the conspiracy theory subculture has been hijacked by the right to try to take down people like Obama and put forward rightwing libertarianism,” said Bellamy, who describes himself as “a left-leaning libertarian – more in the realm of Noam Chomsky.” He continued, “‘Uprising’ was requested by so many politicians in America for use in their rallies and we turned them down on a regular basis.”
