Stephin Merritt: It would be illegal for me to express my actual political opinions

A funny interview in Guardian with Magnetic Fields' Stephin Merritt. He talks about bonus tracks - "The whole idea bugs me. Either it’s an album or it’s not an album. It gets my Asperger’s up to even think about it”; politicians - “It would be illegal for me to express my actual political opinions in probably any country in the world, and I definitely wouldn’t be allowed to travel”; about growing up in a Buddhist commune, loud music, playing live, etc.
