By the way, it was just the era- I thought differently back then too

Can’t limit myself to bands that match up with my politics... pretty short list.

I chalk it up to ‘naivete’... but give ‘em a break for what they said in the 60s, I’m aware of the damage that movement caused BUT even John Lennon became a (closet) Reaganite in his later years!!!

Back then my musical tastes tended toward country and Southern Gospel...still do. Although there are some leftists in the country genre (notably Merle Haggard), I do avoid such recordings by those artists.

As for rock and roll music, the whole lifestyle advocated by most, not all but most, was and is distasteful to me, especially the abhorrent hippie types. That said, one rock and roll artist that performed some fine Gospel tunes was Elvis Presley, especially Farther Along. I sure hope that he repented and got right with God before his death.
