Michelle Shocked, Ryan Bingham fire up another huge Wisconsin Capitol protest

**SNIP**
Strumming an acoustic guitar, Bingham wrapped his gravelly voice around Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changing" and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," implicitly connecting the current protest to struggles past. You can imagine the crowd's response when he sang this line from the Dylan song: "Come senators and congressmen please heed the call/Don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall...."
**SNIP**
Michelle Shocked flew in from Los Angeles to perform at a moment's notice. She poured so much intensity into her songs and her comments to the crowd that you sensed she would have run from L.A. to Madison -- over broken glass, no doubt -- if she hadn't been able to catch a plane.
Playing an acoustic guitar in a black leather jacket and black chapeau, Shocked never stopped smiling, despite her indignation over Republican tactics. With brief assistance from guitarist Jon Langford of the Mekons, she joked, improvised lyrics, and rattled Miss Forward on top of the Capitol with her huge voice. As a coup de grace, she got the crowd singing along to the Supremes' "Stop in the Name of Love," demanding that the Republican Party "think it o-o-ver."

Not sure who Bingham is? Michelle Shocked is a neo-folkie who had her 15 minutes of fame before “rocking out” on he second album, pissing off her former fans.
She actually looks better now - a lot less dykie albeit still f****d in the head.
Hu?
She looks kind of like Melissa Ethridge’s unattractive younger sister.
I haven't heard from Michelle Shocked in years (maybe back to the 80s / early 90s).
This stunt is more about reviving her "career"/get publicity.
agree, time for a bold change or die as a country..
Guilty!
My new bumper sticker:...."If you see nisnocsiW ot emocleW in your review mirror, you might be a Wisconsin Democrat".
Need to work on the font...lol
“Communism is making a run at a big comeback. The unions are keeping it alive.”
And the FED policies are helping, aren’t they?
The march of soft communism has been going for a long time.
From “public schools” to social security, this nation is not even really capitalistic anymore. Add in waivers from DeathCare, to bailouts for banks, the take over by the commies is almost complete.
Sadly.
** Need to work on the font...lol **
(Just a little good-natured joshing) - you might want to work on the typo within, too:)
LOL, I thought this thread was about Bachmann or Malkin. Maybe these two moonbats were before my time?
Come Wisconsin senators, please heed the call/Don’t run off to Rockford, that won’t do at all...”
Michelle Shocked
AKA Karen Michelle Johnston
When Shocked was just 16, she ran away from her oppressive home in East Texas. She spent many years living on the edge of homelessness and squatting in abandoned buildings in New York and San Francisco. At one point, Shocked’s mother committed her to a mental institution, where Shocked was forced to undergo shock therapy — hence, her stage name.
Later, while drifting through Europe, she was raped. Back in the United States, after being rousted for living on the streets, she was again thrown into a mental hospital.

I like the line - "You can't criticize what you don't understand"
The libs don't understand liberty, economics, the military, or what America is all about. They should take Bob's advice and shut up
