This song is fine:
"Roadrunner," The Modern Lovers

My point is why waste your time and money listening to the soundtrack of the leftist revolution?

As you are a conservative what could you have in common with these liberal activists? We all know music is an effective "marketing tool". Why put your self in danger? (being a strong minded conservative you are not in danger, I'm sure, but why give money to these dinks?)

The "leftist revolution" co-opted music in the 1960s. It co-opted the music in the 1970s and 1980s and 1990s too.

Punk did not start as political music. It was a bare bones back to basics reaction to stoner prog-rock arena jams ("classic rock" to many a FReeper). It was decidely ANTI-hippie too.

I won't stop listening to my music just because someone else starts listening to it or just because they are too dim to understand the lyrics.

I don't follow the Clash's politics (reputedly Marxism) but there are many of their songs that don't have any political content.

Meanwhile I'm sure that many FReepers will continue putting money in Willie Nelson's pockets despite his continued liberal political activism (and drug history). Merle Haggard is up there too.
