Bruce Cockburn was great until he went full-bore marxist. By the mid-1980s he was doing nothing but “protest” songs.

I like “if I had a Rocket Launcher” though.

Ya he “evolved”.

Searchers like Cockburn and say, Dylan seem to stumble on the Truth and search right on past it

Bruce was just going thru an angry phase. Well okay, some of the newer stuff is still angry (righteously so I think) but you’re missing out big time if you haven’t kept up with him since the 80’s.

Indeed.

I loved his early work.

Then he started injecting left-wing politics into his songs and I couldn’t listen anymore.
