It’s now been a year since Trumpublicans made their intentions and methods clear. Is our media learning? I’m not betting on it.
“All You Fascists” appeared on the 2000 LP “Mermaid Avenue Volume 2,” the second collaboration between Billy Bragg and Wilco (really Jeff Tweedy) to set some of Woody Guthrie’s unrecorded lyrics to modern music. The lyrics have, sadly, held up pretty well, especially the part about “race hatred.” The tactics of the reactionary never seem to change.
“So come back Woody Guthrie
Come back to us now
Tear your eyes from paradise
And rise again somehow”
Steve Earle: “Christmas in Washington”
Another song whose lyrics have, unfortunately, held up pretty well.
