This. Natural temperant of people leading them both to liberal politics and 'the arts'. That eventually led to a left-leaning subculture surrounding the arts, which breeds further left-wingers.
Could add counter-culture to it as well. Going into 'the arts' as a way of rebelling against their conversative parents and their controlling ways and linear lifepath that's been set from day one.
JurisDictum's point is also valid.
A lot of artists are closeted right-wingers because there tends to be a backlash against right-wingers when they come out of the closet. Related to JurisDictum's point.
Kind of like when I found out last year that Ted Nugent voted Republican. Not The Nuge, man!
So a bunch of reasons.
