The Nine Inch Nails version is about drug addiction, and itself could be considered conservative since its position is one of pain and regret. Cash’s version (especially with the video) becomes Cash looking at his life and own mortality. Most of Rock and roll is about endless youth, a lie created by swapping out the old and in with the young and fresh. How many rock songs acknolwedge death at all?
“I don’t get that one either”
It might not be a conservative song, but it is the opening bumper music to Rush Limbaugh. lol
How bout this

Agreed.
Best Skynyrd song ever.
>>“Rock the Casbah,” by The Clash.
I figured that would be a great soundtrack for the bombs being dropped on terrorists on Weasel Zippers/ “war porn”.
That, and maybe the GAP Band’s “You Dropped The Bomb on Me”
I’d have to add “VOA” by Sammy Hagar to that list. Not a “hit” per se, but a great patriotic tune off the same album that spawned the more well-known “I Can’t Drive 55”.
