I'll take the Johnny Cash. there's a lot of protest in country--and anti-protest.

How about the Temptations "Ball of Confusion"?

Elton John" Burn down the mission"?

good call on Fortunate Son about David Eisenhaur--I think Fogarty played it at L5. so "Lucky Man"?

Anyone recall from REO TWO--their best album before they sold out--Golden Country?

One of my big favorites from one of my favorite 80s alt-rock bands. Swap Australian uranium mining for coal and natural gas extraction, and it could be about the plight of my neighbors and family.

The Company takes what the Company wants
And nothing's as precious as a hole in the ground

Macedonian meat sauce

I love Blue Sky Mine! There's a radio station here that plays a somewhat eclectic mix of music, and they play this sometimes.

Yes, very true!

I'm even careful about not singing Reba (the Phish song), because I'm afraid someone will mis-hear the "Bag it, tag it" part as something else that rhymes with that

Oh I dunno... I keep trying to get Sue on board with a version of "Fairytale Of New York," but I guess it doesn't have exactly the same connotation in British English.

Fifty years later and this song could have been written for today--or every day in the past 50 years. "The more things change the more they stay the same."
