right-wing rock songs // Richard Grant

[mikebailey at speakeasy.net]

 ?Janie?s Got a Gun,? How the right to bear arms can protect women from sexual predators: ?
--but it's the liberal lawyer who'll keep her out of jail after!

?Rime of the Ancient Mariner,? by Iron Maiden. A heavy-metal classic inspired by a literary classic. How many other rock songs quote directly from Samuel Taylor Coleridge?
--(Xanadu, if that's rock?) I was thinking opium consumption made Coleridge a liberal, but Rush Limbaugh's hydrocodone usage disproves that

?Won?t Get Fooled Again,? by The Who
--that does work as a conservative anthem: the repetitive lackluster keyboard part is like hearing talking points over and over...

--------------

Richard Grant is great!  Tex and Molly was a lot of fun.  In fact, I've read all his books and he just gets better, the one about the kid in Washington was great, and the little witch girl was too
