In an interview for the American magazine Pitch, Lemmy Kilmister said he hates politicians by default. “If somebody wants to be a politician, there’s already a serious question mark next to them,” he said. “Imagine wanting to kiss other people’s babies! Fuckin’ hell, it’s hard enough kissing your own, you know! You have to be two-faced.”
Further in the interview Lemmy shares his misgivings about the efficiency of the war on terror, as well as his bewilderment with the artistic scene of New York. – “All them wine-and-cheese parties in the afternoons. Painful.”
In Lemmy’s opinion, the US government seized the moment after the 9/11 events and took the freedom of the people in the name of their safety. “September 11th was George Bush’s Reichstag fire. The American people are no safer than they were before. It’s just difficult to get on a plane.”
