Demonic Tendencies

Devil Bill. Sanger saved. Illinois noise. Let Kerry fix his own tires. Mighty Mickelson. Plus more.

I think you are a little off on Clinton and his "demon" nonsense. I believe he and his acolytes are referring to the demons that artistic and creative geniuses are purported to possess, which possession then excuses any bad behavior by the "tortured soul" therein. These people think they are above petty contrivances such as monogamy or basic honesty because they really are better than the great unwashed, and therefore deserve a few gimmes. Think about that story of Jackson Pollock piddling in some society matron's fireplace.

Look at these lyrics of David Crosby:
