Facts and a basis in reality are nowhere to be fond at Fox.
" There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me."
Woody Guthrie has a variant:
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
It also has a verse:
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
Is this land made for you and me?
He wrote a lot of great music, and on his guitar was a sign:
This Machine Kills Fascists
I've been thinking about a feature length film of his life, with perhaps Danny Masterson playing lead role. We could sure use some of his honesty, and love of country. It's hysterically funny that FOX Propaganda thinks he would've been on their side!
"Deportee (Plane Wreck At Los Gatos)" is also one of my favorite songs. It's one of the few songs that Woody Guthrie wrote, but never got to record.
When my kids were small, every Christmas, I made sure that my kids listened to "1913 Massacre" by Woody. I wanted them to understand what greed can lead to. They'd roll their eyes every time, but now that they have their own kids, they understand.
Phil Ochs, now there was a subversive after my own heart.
Funny first because it's actually "This Land is YOUR Land, This Land is MY Land" but of course, Kilmeade thinks of himself first.
But the real hilarity ensues when you realize what a totally subversive song it is. Capitalism does not comport well with the notion of everyone owning everything. (Woody Guthrie wrote it in response to "God Bless America.")
So Kilmeade, along with all the rest of us, grew up singing a subversive, anti-capitalism folk song. We were "indoctrinated" with music.
And I think we can all agree that US-style Capitalism has not suffered much since our collective "indoctrination" in the music rooms of elementary schools all across This Land.
Although they didn't miss naming the school and location, at least they had the decency to block the kids' faces this time.
This was a small group of children putting on a 2 hour program of which about 2 minutes was spent on this stupid little song. No parents objected before, during or after the program until someone decided it would be another Fox nail in Obama's coffin. Obama knew NOTHING of this program . . . to associate it with him or his administration is asinine.

I wish I could go back to the time when I believe Republicans were decent folks who happened to have a different political viewpoint. Little did I know how completely evil they were. I mean, Bush actually seems pretty tame compared to what we've seen the past few months.
