Subject: RE: Playing with the enemy
You certainly don't want to argue with people you're making music with.    While you're actually doing the music, it should be no problem.   Problem comes afterwards when you're just talking.   All sorts of things can become minefields. Especially history.

Then of course once it's clear to you that you violently disagree on some issues--is it worth it to you to continue to see them on any basis?   It's certainly a question.

If they have a lot to offer musically, it may well be worthwhile.   You just have to steer clear of some topics.    If the musical satisfaction is not there, you may want to seek others.   Life is short.

I'll make music with anybody who wants to do so regardless of any political or religious views. But the music itself has to be satisfying.
