Marchers struggled to find appropriate songs to sing during the procession from one Capitol Hill cathedral to another. But the peace-song playlist was of golden oldies, stuck in the Vietnam era.

So marchers began to sing "America the Beautiful," Boonstra recalled. And that troubled one of the marchers.

As a (seemingly) rare non-left-wing folkie, I'd say this is major. One of leftist credos is that their ability to find the right song to argue with is evidence they are correct. The fact that they are struggling to do so is a major blow to their faith.

One of leftist credos is that their ability to find the right song to argue with is evidence they are correct.

The venerable Tom Lehrer, despite being a liberal, had some pretty funny songs back in the day. One that comes to mind in this context is "The Folk Song Army." Here's one of the lines from the song:

Remember the War Against Franco,
That's the kind where each of us belongs.
Though he may have won all the battles,
We had all the good songs!

And I thought I was the only conservative folk music lover in the U.S. Welcome comra ...er, I mean friend. My biggest wish is to be playing in front of a typical lefty folk music crowd, and intersperse military melodies in with the other stuff. I'm betting it would drive them wild...I hope. Sing "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and then segue into` "The Marine Corps Hymn".

And I thought I was the only conservative folk music lover in the U.S. Welcome comrad...er, I mean friend. My fondest wish is to be playing in front of a typical leftist folkie crowd and intersperse military melodies with the regular stuff. Start out with "Where have All the Flowers Gone?" and then segue into "The Marine Corps Hymn".
