Don't Be Afraid Of The Neocons

One of my favorite acoustic guitar players as a youth was the great folkie Norman Blake. His sound was ancient and it felt like his song were written for an earlier age. Litz, one of the posters at Eschaton turned me on to this incredible protest song performed by Norman and his wife Nancy. It's called:

"Don't Be Afraid Of The Neocons"

It's the kind of comprehensive song that you could imagine being unearthed in a generation to sum up these horrific times. I'd link to the CD for purchase but I haven't yet found the source.

Here's a sample of the lyrics:

And away down yonder in the Florida sand/Old Jeb Bush is a mighty man
He told little brother, don't be blue/For I'ma gonna hand this thing to you......

The churches all got on board/In the Holy name of our Lord
They took him for their favorite son/And they sent him away to Washington.......

Now Georgie Bush, he is the man/He landed in Afghanistan
We'll get Osama, was his crack/And now we're stranded in Iraq

He told ole' Rumsfeld on the green/Now you're the best I've ever seen
Just heed my words and you'll go far/And help me win my daddy's war....

God bless the talented artists of our time.
They define our generation.
