Oh why ... why will nothing drive them away?
This is one of the greatest conservative rock songs of all time?
Daniel Rubin of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that ... Music is personal to me, the soundtrack to my story, not yours.
So, with that in mind Mr. Miller, can you twist one of your favorite sayings around, and just shut up and let them sing?
I'm not sure whether I should get a gun or build a wall. But since I don't like guns and building walls makes me all le fatigué, I'll just put my headphones on.
Thanks to Mannion for reminding me of this newest right-wing fiasco. He's got a great post and has included lots of interesting links if you desire more info on this subject.
And here's another Top 50 list of great conservative songs from Jon Swift. If more conservatives were like Jon Swift, I'd have an easier time believing how really, really cool they think they are.
This will never work for the wingnuts. For one thing, it makes me puke. For another, you can't just take a great song out of its cultural context. cherry-pick a few lyrics, and say it's "conservative." I had to stop reading the list at "Wouldn't It Be Nice," (due to pukage) which Miller claims espouses family values. Hey, asshole, it was about teenagers (by teenagers) who were so desperate to get into each others' pants, and so sick of being hassled by old people that they were willing to try anything, even marriage, to consumate their lust. Teen marriage and pregnancy, Mr. Miller. No doubt it would have ended in divorce, single parenthood and dependence on the State, once the hots wore off.
NOTE: This comment was WAY toned down so as not to be too offensive. Sorry to all if I'm a little steamed. This is MY music, not theirs. They have Barry Manilow.

Larry Jones, you can be as offensive as you want to over here at Blue Girl's Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n Roll Love Den.
You should go read all the links. Your offentisity is fine company.

I like that first greatest conservative song of all time you cited in this version.
This version was filmed in Berlin. So far as I know, no one had to sign a pledge to support George Bush to get into this event. You didn't have to be conservative to applaud, but you could be if you wanted to be. Or not.

Ugh, and I am a Rush fan (the Canadians, not the one with the ass-boil draft exemption).
But then again, this list confirms something we know: conservatives love to cherry pick information that supports their pre-determined opinion on a subject.

the list sucks, i mean... rock the casbah? are you freakin serious? i understand that it was one of their few top hits in the US, but that's ignoring ALL of their previous work.

Hhhmmm... I just saw you throwin' my boy Barry to the C-dogs. Say it ain't so!
Anyone who played piano for the Divine Miss M can't be all bad. Especially not if I own his Greatest Hits: Volumes I and II.
(The boogey-woogey beat of the piano man is comin' to town. Doo Doo Doo Doooo Doo!) '-}

Barry can be cool! I mean, He Wrote The Songs, for cryin' out loud!

We love this place, too, Mr. Townshend. Please forgive some of our countrymen for being so dense about song interpretation. Their minds are flabby after so much Toby Keith.
