[Straw Man]

15. Willie Nelson is 92.

That's who the host was talking about.

[applegrove]

16. There you go. Willie was the next act up after Young, I think.

2. My favorite protest song lately. You'd know who it is listening first time blindfolded.

[Deuxcents]

4. Loved it..right out of the gate!

[JudyM]

5. Yes, great surprise in his lyrics

No money to the fascist, no soldiers in the streets, etc.
Will dump try to muzzle him after the fact?

And Mellencamp in interview at Farm Aid contesting global warming science...

Neil's the real deal.

7. That story about McCartney is a total lie.

No concert. It was debunked immediately.

[JudyM]

8. oh, excellent. deleting now!

[JudyM]

10. Singing Old Man, the crowd became pin-drop silent with the poignancy and respect...

[Wiz Imp]

19. What did Mellencamp say contesting global warming science?

[JudyM]

21. He disagreed that the science is there. Said the planet goes through heating/cooling cycles, blah, blah, blah.

"No more great again
No - no more great again
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House

Don’t need no fascist rules
Don't want no fascist schools
Don’t want soldiers on our streets
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House

Got to get the fascists out
got to Clean the white house out
Don’t want soldiers on our streets
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House

No more great again
No - no more great again
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House

No more money to the fascists
the billionaire fascists
TIME TO BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM
no more great again
No - no more great again
TIME TO BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House

NO MORE GREAT AGAIN
No NO MORE GREAT AGAIN
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House
There’s big crime in DC at THE White House
NO MORE GREAT AGAIN
NO NO MORE GREAT AGAIN"
