          The best part about that is he didn’t even watch the movie, he just used a plot summary from somebody else and wrote the new lyrics. Hilariously nailing all the major plot points.

    twice divorced and domestic abusing 73 year old boomer [with a 24 year old girlfriend] most famous for writing a eulogy about the “innocence” of the 1950s in the 1970s has Phase IV (Profound Lead Toxicity) rated political takes.

    i am shocked.

          If you like the rooting tooting western aspect, may I suggest Cisco Houston? He was a folk singer and Wobbly troubadour from the depression era who sang a bunch of the old cowboy tunes

              Ok fair, but Cisco has the most buttery smooth voice around! Not trying to convince you to like something you don’t, just have to go to bat for the guy

                I mean, he sounds like Woody Guthrie or Pete Seger. Not terrible, but not my first pick.

    This song confused me as a kid so I asked my dad what is was about, he explained who the people in the crash were. But 9/11 had just happened and I was just like oh that’s basically nothing compared to that and he had to admit that was true.

    Anyways, death to America

        idk, I think this was a big deal for boomers or something, I know who Big Bopper was because of a joke on Futurama and Buddy Holly because of the Weezer song that was included with Windows 95 shrug-outta-hecks

        I think he’s saying the whole song is meant as a criticism of the 60s counterculture and mourning the end of 50s America, and today’s “wokism” is just an extension of the various sixties movements. He’s nostalgic about driving his truck down to the sock hop with a pink carnation in his suit and then going down to drink with the “good ol’ boys” at the levee. Now Lenin (Lennon) is reading Marx and everything is just too damn political! He directly calls out a bunch of the classic 60s counterculture songs.

        I guess he has to try to pretend like the song is deeper than it really is, because otherwise he’s gotta admit to himself that there are about three generations alive today who couldn’t care less about The Day The Music Died.
