I agree. I've always found it strange that somebody can be taken to task simply because they COLLECT Nazi memorabilia. And I'm a liberal, somewhat PC guy who hates Nazis. It's no different from collecting "Soviet kitsch" or really any other historical items.
Plus, Lemmy makes it pretty clear that he's not a Nazi sympathizer. He mentions he's had six girlfriends who were black, which would be a rather weird thing for a Nazi sympathizer to do. He idolizes Little Richard. He in turn is idolized by many musicians (including Slash, who is half black). It's simpleminded criticism by people who choose not to look at the facts.
It's like people who accused Slayer of being Nazis because of their song "Angel of Death" (about Joseph Mengele), without noticing that most of their albums have been produced by Rick Rubin, who's Jewish.
