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.

[Blake#1]

Songs that praise The Good Ole USofA. Ex: Home On the Range. Songs that praise Gentlemen. Ex: A True and Noble Lover. Songs sung by vocalists like John Charles Thomas.

[Skooz]

I had my leftist phase, too. I'm ashamed of some of things I believed and wrote.

Oh, don't get me started. My lefty phase ran through most of the Reagan administraton, so I didn't appreciate the man until he left office. I came to my senses in time to vote for Bush the Elder in 1988, but I wasted a lot of years spouting leftist bilge I would rather forget.

[Tuxedo]

"Public Servant" by Todd Rundgren. I think many of his tunes are also conservative - "Just One Victory", "Johnny Jingo", "Real Man", etc.

Did you ever hear of the book 'Radical Son?' It's worth looking for.

I've seen it at the bookstore and have flipped through it but I haven't read it. It's on my 234,765,901,978 page list of books I want to read before I die. I'm just about to finish a book (Hitler: Hubris by Ian Kershaw) and may be able to buy that one and start it by the end of the week. But, I have the second volume of Kershaw's Hitler biography sitting on the shelf, beckoning me . . . so many books, so little time. The only way I could catch up on my reading is if I went to prison for a long time.

Let's keep your vote in 1988 our little secret, okay? I may be able to use it as leverage if we have a future dispute. : )

Although some of Rundgren's stuff is definitely left... I agree with earlier posts on RUSH. I wonder if it is easier making it in the music business from the right than in motion pictures? Since Country Music has become so popular, it would appear that way.

Costello is definitely on the left...saw an interview with him years ago. No doubt was left there. The Clash is or was definitely on the left....Um naming one of your albums (Sandinista) after the Commies of Nicaraugua kind of tells. In the pseudo rock documentary Rude Boy Joe Strummer is wearing a Brigade Rosse t shirt and he jokes to the roadie asking him about it that it's a pizza restaurant. The Brigade Rosse was an Italian left wing terrorist group.

"BTW, 'dude' is a word I use for people -- male or female -- that seem nice. I won't make that mistake again with you, m'am."

Thank you.

Oh, that. I thought I flew on one of your planes out of West Virginia once a few years ago. Twin engine prop.

Avenues abound; especially when flying.

"Elfman composed the "Simpsons" theme as well as "Tales from the Crypt". Right?"

Yep, Here's a couple of links to his work:

Get 'Fully loaded', which has the uncensored trannie-with-an-under-age-syringe-version -- have the barf bag ready and take notes.

LOL! And Lou Reed no doubt would be proud of your description too.

'Rock and Roll Animal,' -- that's right -- NOT 'Transformer'! Hmmm, Sweet Jane's guitars "overwrought? Well maybe in comparison to the Woody Guthrie unplugged version...;-)

[F16Fighter]

All the characters in 'Walk On The Wild' side were real people in the Warhol Factory.

I myself never doubted it for a moment -- you couldn't make that sh*t [words] up.

Regarding Warhol -- Does anyone know if his tombstone reads, : "My 15 Minutes Are Finally Up"??

I saved that issue and re-read from time to time just to see if my perception of its content changes; and it never does. I feel bad for Julian because it must be awful to be so disreagarded. Anyway thanks for the confirmation.

BTW how's everything in NYC? I have lived upstate (Rochester) all of my life and have never really visited the big, bad apple. Hope things are beginning to settle down and hope your new mayor turns out to be good for the city.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

have you read any interviews with the clash? They are libs. They were wearing millitary uniforms, but the album was called 'combat rock.' The Dead Milmen are very pro-abortion and anti-gulf war. Listen to their live album.

- Big Guy

P.S. Both bands still rock. Do you know the Milkmen song "Stuart"? It's classic.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Merle Haggard bump - I love that guy!

[GoreIsLove]

Jello Biafra was never a conservative, but he definitely used to be anti-liberal

That's probably more accurate.
