The guy opening the show doing whiskey river is a very popular Coloradoan by the name of Nathaniel Rateliff. He does look a bit like Vincent Neil Emerson without his beard. https://www.austin360.com/entertainment/20200705/picnic-like-no-other-willie-nelson-and-his-team-reinvent-july-4-bash-for-online-audience https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=nathaniel+rateliff+whiskey+river&&view=detail&mid=35DA2AF2C1839C55446735DA2AF2C1839C554467&&FORM=VDRVRV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jello is OG Antifa. Dead Kennedys, D.O.A, 7Seconds, MDC were the top political bands in the old school hardcore punk rock scene. I’ve already posted the DK’s Nazi Punks F-ck Off and 7Seconds’ Racism Sucks. No war No KKK No fascist USA! OG Antifa. Cliff, I can't really hear the lyrics in these. Your most recent I see the lyrics, but none of these are as focused and specific an intellectual commentary as "American Taliban" but general anti fascist war cry stuff. J.B.style is to leave no dark stone unturned. Honestly I think on style alone "American Taliban" could turn around some Trump supporters I know of in another site, who are not that religious. ( or at least I don't think so) The one thing that stops this from being a more universal rebellion song is the pictures of the fetuses, and that one in hand.(we're pro life!) I make no judgments about that, just an observation about it's universality! I certainly approve that being commercial is hardly a consideration!

Ron Bulman Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Pete, Pamela, thanks. I've not thought of Donovan in years, you never hear him on even classic rock radio anymore. I've never seen this video I just stumbled across. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=donovan+atlantis&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3ddonovan%2batlantis%26form%3dPRUSEN%26mkt%3den-us%26httpsmsn%3d1%26msnews%3d1%26rec_search%3d1%26refig%3db028d155060243c1ac38d2375f25c10e%26sp%3d-1%26pq%3ddonovan%2batlantis%26sc%3d9-16%26qs%3dn%26sk%3d%26cvid%3db028d155060243c1ac38d2375f25c10e&view=detail&mid=27022FFD324D5D235FCE27022FFD324D5D235FCE&&FORM=VDRVRV Rather calming in these tragic times.

Ron Bulman Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 10 K 3 way? California, Texas, Florida. 10,000 New Cases in a Day? All three experienced this in the last three days. After March, April, May and most of June Texas reached 100,000 cases. in the last 17 days we went to 200,000. This is getting scarier and more dangerous faster. Much more so than many videos, even those I've linked. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/california-coronavirus-cases-surge-more-than-10000-in-single-day/ar-BB16sqvY?li=BBnb7Kz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe persecuted. Promoting a political agenda there, even if it is about not letting Our Democracy to be subjected to fascism, could be a firing offense. Better skip that idea. Gotta tow the mark and walk the line if there's still any hope of hanging on until retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was spelling it the way the prez pronounces it, sarcastically. I realize it's not about violence but that's the way it's framed by the right, or the prez at least.
