Evidently this writer never listened to the Beatles.
This is news?

Are you aware of the search function?
Malvina Reynolds also wrote “What Have They Done To the Rain”, an early “green” song, which reached a fairly wide audience in late 1964-early 1965 when it was done by the SEARCHERS.
Neil Young? Am I the only one who is annoyed by what passes for singing by Neil Young?

I have composed a country song that is an answer to “American Idiot” by Gree Day. Here’s the lyrics...
Deer In The Headlights
Well, everything I know about the world is what I saw on TV
And the sad part is I already knew they’re lying to me
They say those that don’t study history
Are doomed to repeat it, but don’t blame me
Cause they quit teachin history round about ‘63
Now, they got me feelin like a Deer in the Headlights
Wide eyed, dumbfounded, staring at the bright lights
Just tell me anything I’ll believe it, all right
Lord, have mercy, I’m a Deer in the Headlights
Well, everything I know about America is all BS
Since they took over the schools and the tube and the IRS
So I’m screaming for the state to come fix my life
Put food on my table, take care o’ my wife
She’s frettin like a fawn over who’s gonna fix this mess?
And they got me feelin like a Deer in the Headlights
Wide eyed, dumbfounded, staring at the bright lights
Say the earth is warmin I’ll believe it, all right
Lord, have mercy, I’m a Deer in the Headlights
Well I’m starin straight ahead
just tryin to get across and graze
Should’a listened when my momma said
Little buck, you gotta look both ways…
Well, everything they tell me ‘bout myself makes me so contrite
Turns out that I’m a kook fringe crazy and I’m wound too tight
Who’d a thought I was the hatin’ kind
Be careful what you say ‘cause somebody’s gonna mind
Lord, save me from myself, guess I just don’t know wrong from right
So, they got me feelin like a Deer in the Headlights
Wide eyed, dumbfounded, staring at the bright lights
Say the world hates us I’ll believe it, all right
Lord, have mercy, I’m a Deer in the Headlights

I guess if I could say one thing and one thing only to all these wannabe commie phony baloney popsters who really just wanna see their own mugs on the cover of the Rolling Stone and will sing whatever it takes to get ‘em there, it would be this, in a nutshell, something like—If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow...
Well, maybe that one is taken.
From the lyrics:
There is not enough black in the Union Jack
and to much white in the Stars and Stripes?
The irony is that the entire audience is white and there is not a single black person in the band.
I sure used to like NY when he rocked, rather than whined....
The irony is that they demonize the same system that makes them rich. Fat cat executives suck but give me my millions for saying it. Hypocrisy is a trait of liberalism.

I’ve always considered Rage Against the Machine to be a bad joke. If your lead singer has to wear a beret with the word “guerrilla” embroidered on it, chances are he’s not *really* a guerrilla. (grin)
Or, as a friend of mine who grew up in Peru during the 1980s once said about RATM: “If you guys think The Shining Path is so f-—ing great, come ride a bus in Lima the next time they’re in town!”
This list is a bunch of baloney. The Jefferson Airplane’s “Volunteers” is not even mentioned. The author suffers the state of believing the world began about ten years ago.
He left out The Clash...anything by the Clash.
BTW, the Beatles are a 60s boy band - the baby boomer version of nsync.
