So..."Conservatives" have their own little playlist, presumably for the enjoyment of Michelle Malkin's latest squawking, and fondling the bump in their stain resistant Dockers.
Predictably, they cherry pick and de-contextualize certain passages which jibe with their ideological leanings-I hardly think Chrissy Hynde or Joe Strummer would be thrilled with inclusion in this rarest of rare. But hey, I'll bet it kicks ass when washed down with a couple of Mich Ultra's, during the commercial breaks of Cavuto.
(Speaking of Joe: There's a line in the movie Rude Boy, where the protagonist Ray asks Strummer about his red "Brigade Rosse" T-shirt. Strummer replies "It's the name of a Pizza Restaurant", apropos, of course, of the above list)
(Aside number two: Somebody care to explain how Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", and by extension, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, embody conservative principles?)
Since these folk (google bamapachyderm if you don't believe me) lack the basic interpretive skills to understand when lyrics, or reality, for that matter, are calling them out, I would recommend Laibach's "Lieben Heistt Lieben"...you'll like the drums...you'll like the uniforms...its in German...you don't get it, do you?
As for me, since I am a music geek, I would ask the readers out there for an angry leftist top 50...we'll compile a list. List as many (up to fifty) as you'd like.
1. Bob Dylan "Masters of War"
ReplyDelete2. The Clash "Washington Bullets"

The The - "Sweet Bird of Truth" (or just about anything else)
ReplyDeleteActually, I guess "Armageddon Days" is appropriate to the times:
They’re 5 miles high
As the crow flies
Leavin’ vapour trails
Across a blood red sky
Movin’ in from the East
Towards the West
With balaclava helmets
Over their heads
YES!
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey, you’ve got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who’s hijacked his name
He’ll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on it’s elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
“It’s War” she cried
“It’s War” she cried
“This is War!”
Drop your possessions
All you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches
in your underclothes
You will thank the good lord
For raising the Union Jack
You’ll watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
Watch the ships sail out of harbour
And the bodies come floating back
If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He’d be gunned down cold by the C.I.A.
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest
Behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows
Upon the human heart
But God didn’t build himself that throne
God doesn’t live in Israel or Rome
God doesn’t belong to the Yankee dollar
God doesn’t plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn’t even go to church
And God won’t send us down to Allah to burn
God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it’s sown
Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on it’s elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
The world is on it’s elbows and knees
It’s forgotten the message
And worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon Days Are HERE!!!
"Baba O'Riley" -- The Who
ReplyDeleteOut here in the fields, I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I dont need to fight, to prove Im right
I dont need to be forgiven
Dont cry, dont raise your eye
Its only teenage wasteland
Sally, take my hand
Well travel south, cross land
Put out the fire and dont look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Lets get together before we get much older
Teenage wasteland
Its only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
(its only) teenage wasteland
Theyre all wasted!
One that SHOULD have been on the conservative list... "Lawyers, Guns, and Money."
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of guns... this is a milestone:

(and I bet the Kimber problem was a firing-pin either stuck forward or the wrong size for the slide.)
How about I Fought the Law? So obvious it escapes mention!

Conservatives think that "Cult of Personality" backs the party of W? Keen insight is not among their virtues.
