OldCowboy Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Great song, For those who insist this is political, I have 1 question: political (really?) or just the TRUTH? I vote for truth. Lately politics and truth have very little or nothing in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojorule Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This is not a "song discussion" Forum. It's a Forum to sell guitars. Capitalism. Henry ALLOWS us to post some songs we create with the guitars. Henry is a Republican. If the discussion veers into politics, or actually STARTS OUT about politics, that is forbidden. Get it? Henry's party affiliation didn't prevent him selling the Woody Guthrie SJ or the Arlo Guthrie LG2. If you make guitars with those names attached, you'll probably attract people who talk about Guthrie songs and their heirs. 69th anniversary of the Los Gatos crash today, by the way.

dhanners623 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Well noted, my friend. Yeah, what's old is new again.... I think the original complainer may have been someone who works for Walmart, or is unfamiliar with small-town economics. Or just doesn't like me and/or my music.

Hmmmm, who knows - maybe he (Murph) just had to let it out. I recall once writing that Allah at some point in the late 70's had told Cat Stevens to stop singing, , , and how you chimed in on that statement. No offence, , , feel free, , , it's fairly human to react to topics one finds important and it takes a bit of restraint not to move. This comment might be an example of that ;-) A good Sunday to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 By the way, dhanners - can I ask : What does the 623 in your Board-pseudonym stand for. Is there a reference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCowboy Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Oh, sh!t.... Now I want to know, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say it was some numerology or a simple math equation (6 divided by 2 equals 3) but it's my birthday. But now you have figure out if it's the 23rd day of the sixth month or the 62nd day of the third month. Or maybe the sixth day of the 23rd month....

So my new guess is that you are a crab-fish - a water-sign. First thought was it had to do with the Ramadan starting up that year. 623 if I'm not reading the sources wrong - generally quite a defining year for the particular creed. My # is 129 !

bayoubengal1954 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Enjoyed the song and the performance. I also hear a Steve Earle influence, which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramadan ends June 24 this year. Trying to make it through the heat of summer while fasting is, uh, interesting, but it is easier in the Middle East than the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of you to say and, yeah, Earle has long been an influence, since at least the mid-1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Politics is forbidden in this Forum. But, if you are going down that rabbit hole let me say this before the lock. Trump said "What do you have to lose" to the inner city voters. Like Chicago. Where democrat leadership have allowed more killing than war zones. Guess those lives don't matter. I'm pro wall, pro capitalism, pro tax cuts, pro gun, pro pipeline, and all about bringing back jobs. I'm anti boys going into girls bathrooms, sanctuary cities, open borders, schools graduating kids that can't read, and free phones. Boom !

Always have.... Good! There's an Emerson essay, "The Poet", which has always spoken pretty clearly to me about the role of artists. I believe you might enjoy the read if you haven't already.
