"Capitalism" by Oingo Boingo. Many of you may not know this 80's new wave type band but they were hardcore CAPITALISTS."

The driving force behind Oingo Boingo, Danny Elfman, went on to write just about every major motion picture score worth listening to in the last 10 years and "The Simpsons" theme to boot.

Your 79: Rock on. They have more thoughtful content in their collective little finger than The Boss has in his whole quivering, importance-of-being-earnest body of work.

Elfman has done GREAT scores! He has a touch . .

Don Henley is left(At least on environment). I don't know about Glenn Frey. Joe Walsh is right I believe, or at least libertarian.

AFAIK, Henley is wacko-loony-La La Land-left on EVERYTHING; Frey may not be a right-winger, but he's a lot farther in that direction than Henley.

As far as Walsh, I always thought he was a wacked-out liberal: "Bases are loaded and Nixon's at bat...time to change the batter" (Rocky Mountain Way, live version). Maybe he's changed since then, I don't know.

The Who : We Dont Get Fooled Again

Ironically some heavier rock ie., Scorps, AC/DC, Van Halen, Nugent etc. comes to mind.

Alot of country music is very patriotic.

Hey Elfman. I could not agree with you more. See my post #45. I just picked one of O.B.'s songs and stuck in some of the lyrics. Believe it or not, their music really helped me question a lot of the crap that our statist society attempted to inculcate in me and all other youth. The best thing is that they were political and damn funny, and musically talented. I am sure that those who were not interested in that genre of music could question my last statement though.

I still have and listen to all of my OLD tapes and they are also my kid's favorite band, well, with the exception of Cracker, who are just as un-PC.

Let It Grow (Weather Report Suite Part II)-- G. D.


Morning comes, she follows the path to the rivers shore
Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the morning's door
See the sun sparkle in the reeds; silver beads pass into the sea
She comes from a town where they call her the woodcutter's daughter
She's brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water
And she bears it away with a love that the river has taught her
Let it flow, greatly flow, wide and clear
Round and round, the cut of the plough in the furrowed field
Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal
Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring; black dirt live again
The ploughman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing
As he dances the circular track of the plough ever knowing
That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing
Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield

Chorus
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name
As well to count the angels dancing on a pin
Water bright as the sky from which it came
And the name is on the earth that takes it in
We will not speak but stand inside the rain
And listen to the thunder shout
I am, I am, I am, I am

So it goes, we make what we made since the world began
Nothing more, the love of the women, work of men
Seasons round, creatures great and small, up and down, as we rise and fall

I thought Skynrd sang, "Simple Man". It's a good song, with a conservative slant to it, definitely.

Creed's songs all seem to be pretty conservative. I like their, "With Arms Wide Open".

If anyone remembers Triumph, a Canadian band from back in the 80's, their songs were pretty conservative. I can't remember any specific song titles at the moment, but I remember their songs were all upbeat and positive, which translates into conservative for me.

Here's one that probably nobody remembers: "Unborn Child" by Seals & Crofts (two country boys at heart) from about 1974:

"Unborn child,
if you only knew
what your mother's planning to do to you"

...or something along those lines. I think it actually made the Hot 100, but certainly not the top 40. Imagine a song like that - today - getting any air play whatsoever: the feminazis would shut down the station!

"Seriously, Danny Elfman had a sort hit in the early 90's, right? What was it?? "

I don't think Elman's only solo album in 85, solo, album went very far. I think that the only single released was "Gratitude". I don’t think their only 90's CD got any air play outside southern CA. You may be thinking of "Weird Science" in 84 which was their only top 40 hit.

"Some Gave All"

Did you see the two-hour version of "Doc" on PAX TV for Veterans' Day where Billy Ray Cyrus gave tributes to ALL our Vets: WWI, WWII, Korea, 'Nam, Desert Storm and the NYPD and NYFD (did I miss any?)

It as great! Each Vet and Police and Firefighter got a chance to say something about what they went thru.

And Billy Ray sang "Some Gave All".

Lots of people appear to be mentioning the Beatles. The Beatles are about as conservative as Katie Couric.

I don't like Nixon much either. A lot of people didn't on either side of the fence.
