"...the Right likes the "right" type of music." - Bruce Cockburn

Bruce Springsteen and Neal Young both have ties to the folk music that was so influential in American culture in the New Deal years. For the Far Right, that kind of music is subversive and dangerous. Just like Jazz in the thirties and Rap now.

And just listen to Jesse Welles, coming in under the radar. They don't hear it coming.
