OMG, bad enough, but right as I saw your post the weather channel was just showing a pix of the Tappan bridge! Omen?
SOTU should not have any entertainer honored for any reason. It is off-topic.
I think commies hated Hitler/fascism because it was a competing ideology
Bravio to your post, on all counts.
Precisely. Commies and Nazis are like Bloods and Crips, the only difference is the uniform.
They hated it because of betrayal. That is all. This indicates it, and so does Horowitz in his autobiography.
They are a bunch of hypocrites.
Willie said he and Waylon sometimes had to have a long distance relationship.
Waylon almost whipped Kristofferson’s ass for spouting off his communist beliefs on stage with The Highwaymen. He said “You can have your beliefs. But when there are three other people on the stage you need to keep them to yourself.” I wish he had whipped his little scrawny butt.
Actually, most of his music and singing was bad too.
Yeah, great quote. But they all had two green things in common that trumped any lower priority politics.
In communist countries, you become powerful, then you become rich. In capitalist countries, you become rich, then you become powerful.
Listening to the local AM (WBAP 820) station on morning on the way to work a few years back the dj recounted how he’d had Waylon and his wife Jessie on his show one time and the dj kept ogling Jessie. Waylon, according to the dj leaned across the table and told the dj politely that he was fixin’ to get both eyes blacked if he kept it up. I’ve always admired Waylon’s talent and this just added to my esteem for the man.
While I am heartened to find that there are so many conservative musicians at FreeRepublic in the real world we are a distinct minority - especially in the rock world.
Most of the musicians I have played with ranged from political agnostics to raving loonies. It’s made for some interesting exchanges over the years.
Pete Seeger, like many leftists of the 30s and 40s were not communists. They were Stalinists. Imagine a singer being praised who was a big fan of Adolf Hitler. Stalin and Mao both outdid him in the genocide business.
This is one hard-left activist using the language of the left to praise another hard-leftist - "the America he knew we could be" is a socialist / communist America - sort of like "fundamental transformation."
If you listen, they will always tell you who they are.
I always HATE finding out about singers that I think are wonderful being GD commie Marxists.
Used to like Burl Ives a lot until I found out what a dope he was politically.
It used to be that country musicians could be counted on to be conservative and patriotic. Not so much anymore.
Thank you.

You may not like his politics, But Pete Seeger sums up my feelings about our POTUS in his song Waist Deep in the Big Muddy
Seems like some folks are still following that Big Fool

Here are the final verses of the Pete Seeger song:
Now Im not going to point any moral
Ill leave that for yourself.
Maybe youre still walking, youre still talking,
Youd like to keep your health.
But every time I read the papers, that old feeling comes on,
Were waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.
Waist deep in the Big Muddy,
The big fool says to push on.
Waist deep in the Big Muddy,
The big fool says to push on.
Waist deep, neck deep,
Soon even a tall man will be over his head.
Were waist deep in the Big Muddy,
And the big fool says to push on.
This outpouring if sympathy for communist Pete Seeger is nauseating.
Not only are they threatening to name the new Tappan Zee bridge after him, they are planning to rename part of the Hudson River as well.
