My god these losers try so hard to be cool. In fact, conservatism never was and never will be cool. It is the antithesis of cool. I thought Townshend's response pretty well undermined Miller's strained interpretation of "Won't Get Fooled Again," and the same could be applied to most of the songs on the list. I've got nothing against conservatives expressing their political and social views, but when it comes to convincing anybody that they "rock" they are fighting a losing battle. They've got C7W and Lawrence Welk. Isn't that enough for them?
It's pretty sad, really, that those who are waging the "culture war" need to pretend that they are not.
Personally, I could give two shits less about what the average conservative listens to, as long as they reconcile the fact that very little that rocks has anything to do with conservatism.
