Obama inauguration song calls for the overthrow of private property.
youtube ^ | 1-20-2009 | Pete Seeger & Bruce Springsteen

Posted on 01/23/2009 9:21:11 PM PST by freedomwarrior998

I've been looking and I haven't heard this mentioned yet. During the Obamunist coronation ceremony lefties Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen were singing "This Land is your Land."

To my utter shock and amazement, they actually brought out a verse that is hardly ever sung in public. This verse openly calls for the overthrow of private property.

Watch from 2:42 on the video, here are the lyrics:

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.

The crowd and the red chorus in the background gleefully sung along as the communists openly revealed their intentions.

Folks, we are in for a long road ahead.

This conversation has struck a chord with me -my “Weasels...” cassette quit working a couple years ago and TODAY my online ordered CD came in the mail. Although many of the songs can be heard in one form another throughout my collection, it has been good to hear it all together. The artwork is great. I forgot that much of the electric violin in early Mothers was NOT Jean-Luc Ponty but was Don Sugarcane Harris. Don’t get me wrong, Jean-Luc is fantastic too. And I believe that was the only album with Lowell George.

His communism quote is right-on!!!

I guess I don’t have to tell you who brings “San Quentin mashed potatoes” to mind.

I tend toward classical and celtic music and don’t let me forget Ted Nugent. Zappa always facinated me for reasons difficult to explain for those who don’t like him.

His music was (still is) phenomenal. I didn’t always agree with some of his politics and much of his general disdain for religion. His lyrics were sometimes crude and often hilarious.....

For the good part of his career, Springsteen was just a rock and roll guy - one of the best live performers ever. But, back then, he got little respect from the world outside of rock and roll.

Then, one day, he read a melodramatic, maudlin John Steinbeck book and listened to some wailing Woody Guthrie albums, and all of a sudden, he's a sensitive Okie (from Jersey?) downtrodden leftist, just crawled out of the dustbowl to bash capitalism.

Suddenly, he's the toast of the New York Times! He's NPR's favorite poet. He's the "everyman intellectual!"

Which is really a hoot - since the "intellectual" half is a high school dropout, and the "everyman" half has lived the pampered life of a millionaire rock star since Richard Nixon was president.

The last one I bought was "Baby Snakes". I wouldn't play that one when kids or sensitive people were present. By the way my I am a hard core Conservative despite being a fan of Frank Zappa. A contradiction to some.

Zap was probably one of the first fusion musicians, or precursor of that genre. Throw in his “innovative” lyrics..how could you not like him? (Well, most of the time.)

I love all music. Since you mentioned Celtic..how about Loreena McKennitt?

I have two of her albums. Have you heard of "Dropkick Murphys"? They are great.

Zappa and conservatism are somewhat contradictory, but he was all for smaller government and less regulation.

There are SO MANY lyrics I won’t play in certain company. I think my kids think Zappa’s work consists of older, do-wop OR jazz-fusion-classical OR guitar solos. If they only knew the lyrics...LOL A couple of my daughters are older and may get a chuckle, but I won’t play it (cruder lyrics)for them - they’ll have to hear it on their own.

Although Bruce has always written protest music, I think he maybe seeking attention.

He has written some beautiful sound scores.

But he has made it difficult to forgive him.

There is a song on “Baby Snakes” That is not left to interpretation. That is why I mentioned it.

How will Springsteen feel when a mob armed with an assortment of weapons come into his mansion and let him know that it is they who now own his property.

Springsteen is too stupid to know it is his neck in the guillotine.

That's a great analysis. I have hours and hours of live tape of him and he's just outstanding--energetic without being sloppy.

But he's just embarassing when he turns on the Everyman crap. When rock singers discover one book, they think it's the only book, and they are so in love with the revelation they get from it, they seem to not want to read much that doesn't agree with that "road to Damascus" moment.

True thinkers read widely, and deeply, and aren't afraid of having their initial impressions ruined, which is ignorant, but common.

I haven’t watched the tape in a while - which song?

I showed a Terry Bozio clip from that film to my then-soon-to-be-son-in-law (who is now my son in law) and had to turn down the volume a couple times because my son was nearby.

The claymation was ahead of its time....
