  1. CW: USPol, Fortunate Son

    I feel this song is the song of the times now that a draft dodger is running another war against a china backed country talking about reinstating the draft. Written in a fit of rage about the unjustness of the Vietnam War and that a senator's son had gotten out of the draft because he was a senator's son.

    I'm really starting to see how much of protest music is really sung with false ironic positivity. Bruttosocialprodukt Geier Sturzflug, 99 Luftballoons Nena, or even more from the same band, Bad Moon Rising was about Nixon winning. All song with the false positivity that you would hear from your relatives or the media back then.
