17. Hootenanny? Seriously?

This list, selected at random, could be extended almost indefinitely.

Well, if "hootenanny" is on the list, yes, I'm sure the list could be extended almost indefinitely. Everyone who can use speech or symbols in any form is likely to be a communist. I see that now.

Just imagine, folks, if all the time, money and energy that went into creating and fighting the red scare, from crap like this to fighting the Korean
"Police Action" and the Vietnam "Era" had gone instead into medical research or education.

Ok, I won't do the obvious. I will not insert here a video of Lennon singing Imagine. I'll only infect you with the earworm.
