What songs do you feel have a Conservative slant?

[youngFreeper]

Just for fun I would like to see what songs everyone feels has a coservative flavor.

The Brits don't have one, and the Who is from England so I don't really that that as a shot at the US one.

I think was saying that if the left takes over, it will be the same thing.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

John Mellencamp's (sp?) Jack and Diane is a great song discouraging pre-marital sex. Jack keeps trying and Diane is smart enough to say no "oh yeah, life goes on - long after the thrill of living is gone".... I play that for the teenage girls I work with every year.

Am still in awe of "The Who". They were so wild back in their day with Keith "the madman" Moon and Pete Townsend's guitar smashing. Daltrey was cool too, Tommy. Totally nuts!

I'll have to hear the song. It's probably one of those I don't until I hear it and then it's. "Oh I know this song".

"Get Off Of My Cloud" -- The Rolling Stones

[Skooz]

No, you have the title right. Sweet, understated guitar work by Townsend counterpointed with Entwistle's intricate and tasteful bass ramblings. It's really a nice song. I don't have a clue what it's about, lyrically. But musically it's a home run. It's on the same album as "I've Known No War" which I referenced earlier.

[DownWithGreenspan]

I believe that a lot of people who like the idea of "small towns" haven't lived in one...

Amen to that! For another example of ultra-liberal city boys bashing the Real America, see Simon & Garfunkel's "My Little Town".

Those two scumbags have probably never ventured farther than 10 miles from Central Park, except on concert tours, but they sure can tell us a thing of two about small-town life.

Not.

Dude are you serious..? LMAO!

I tend to agree with your assessment of The Beatles. Lennon and McCartney too were absolute geniuses and Lennon was very, very literate.

Although I did think of Lennon as a bit of fraud; you know "luv, luv, luv..." from my vantage point he seemed to have almost forgotten he had Julian. To such a degree that even in the interview with Playboy that he gave just before he died he referred to Julian as a "bottom of the gin bottle" baby, and in the attempt to mitigate the full conotation of that statement said that he too was conceived in the same manner. And all I could think when I read that sentence was; is the love for your child so shallow that you couldn't spare him that humiliation even if the words you spoke were true?

Finally though I have to say that in my opinion Lennon easily admitted his failings when it was time to do so. And to me that is the mark of an honest man. So God rest his soul.

My Girl Bill
Back in the USSR

Note a theme developing there? ;)

I wish Keith Moon was still alive so I could see an original Who lineup. I think I was a baby when he died.

It's one of those bands like the original Lynyrd Skynyrd(although that crash was right before I was born) and Stevie Ray Vaughan(I was about 10 when he died) that I wish I was able to see.

I'm hoping for a Van Halen Reunion with DLR. That was the first band I was big into.

[alcuin]

Your 129: I believe (frankly, I know it, but modesty forbids the use of that word) that the Beatles took POP music as far as it can go: they absorbed every genre and crafted an original body of work that will NEVER be approached, let alone equalled.

That said, I doubt if ANYTHING (e.g., re drugs, sex, religion, politics) said, done, or written by those madcap moptops can be construed as anything but liberal.

"Taxman" notwithstanding, which is just a personal, petty gripe, set to music.

The Beatles enriched the life of the world; in part, it was due to their separate and collective liberalism.

Such is art.

Alas, or not.

"Thunderstruck", AC/DC

[Skooz]

Am still in awe of "The Who".

The best concert I ever saw was in December 1983. The Who at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Kenny Jones was on drums, and they ROCKED! No one could follow The Who.

I was totally blown away. I knew they were going to be good, but I had no idea they would be that good.

"Puff the Magic Dragon"

Even if it was not intended to be.

[Dan from Michigan]

LOL.

We are the World. One of the worst songs of all time. Goes with anything from N'STINK, Back Door Boys, or their 80's counterpark - New Kids on the Block.
