Cockburn was OK until his songs went full-on marxist.

He was pretty much that since In the Falling Dark back in 1978 (that's when I read about it in Time). I look at his politics as a sad derangement that doesn't necessarily detract from the worth of his music and other lyrics. He's got the right attitude toward injustice (as in If I Had a Rocket Launcher) and human lostness (as in Broken Wheel), but he's focussing on the wrong group as the perpetrator of that injustice. We must pray for his healing.
