He’s not the Boss of me.

If he’s the Boss then we’re disgruntled employees.

Being proud Communists, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger protested AGAINST the US going to war against Nazi Germany.

Woody’s guitar didn’t “kill fascists” UNTIL later in war.

Woody's guitar changed its tune shortly after 22 June 1941, which was before the US entered World War II.

Curiously, that's when the US labor movement, the media, and non-fascist leftists became really interested in getting the US involved as well.

Pearl Harbor wasn't until 7 December 1941.

I used to like “Born In The USA”, until I listened to the lyrics, great beat. All of the guys I grew up with served in VN and he managed to insult all of us by portraying us as a bunch of mind damaged losers, pissed me off.

Exactly. The left was against the war, so long as Germany and Russia were working together to divvy up Europe amongst themselves, but as soon as the Germans revealed their plan to dispose of the Commies, the left changed its tune. They’ve never been anti-war, anti-war is just a cover to sucker the masses into opposing wars against the left’s allies.

Who sits in front of a $500 flat-screen TV eating all that junk food while his obese 12-year old son with breasts plays on a $150 X-Box 360. Poverty in America is a joke. It doesn’t exist, like hunger. I’m so f**king sick of hearing ‘’poverty in America’’. It’s bullshit. If poverty does exist in America it’s an indulgence.

Arlo is an Occupier, not so conservative.

U should check out his newer stuff. ‘Shadowlands’ is great ‘Another Night in America’ is also very good, but ‘The Ground’ may be the best album of the last decade.

He just released a new album last week ‘The Hang’. I have not heard it but I have heard the title song;

and “Breaking Down”:

I also just received the tickets for his March 25 concert @ the Tangier in Akron. His shows are always a good time!

He described himself as a conservative Rebuplican, even gave reasons. I didn’t say anything about where he goes to sing. Remember Rush Limbaugh had SIR Elton John perform at his wedding, does that make SIR Elton John any less of a lib?

I hear "Darkness on the Edge of Town" and "Radio Nowhere" all the time at my local Walgreens. "My Hometown" and "I'm On Fire" too sometimes.

——Bruce Springsteen was great ... about a thousand years ago.-—

“The River” was his best. A fabulous album. But he’s been declining since then. His vision has progressively constricted, from the trials of every man, down to liberal cliches.
