Don't get me wrong. First of all, he denies he's a Randroid at every opportunity. He just happens to quote and reference Rand occasionaly in his lyrics and some of his political views align with hers. But he also references many other authors in his lyrics, including Hemingway, so that's nothing special. Second of all, I don't always agree with what Neil says just because it was him saying it.

I've personally never read any Rand. Okay, I take that back, I tried reading "Anthem" when I was in high school, but just didn't enjoy it enough to finish it.
