Francesco Guccini: “Nessun cantautore di qualità è di destra. Non è che io, De André e Vecchioni c’eravamo messi in testa di divulgare la cultura di sinistra: semplicemente non puoi non avere una sensibilità di sinistra per scrivere certe canzoni”.
Gracias. Apology accepted. Your cattle rancher fascist death squad Batista apologist family crybaby problems are perhaps a conversation for another time, but nice pivot.
Never ceases to amaze me how many folks who’ve heard RATM are in Paul Ryan mode, having literally ZERO understanding of anything that band was about and even less understanding where any of us might stand on contemporary issues. Recently was talking to a couple at a restaurant who were big fans of “Killing In The Name”. The nice lady said, “I love that song. It helped me rage against my parents and later against the jab!” I said, “Ma’am that song is about racist cops who often behave like the Ku Klux Klan in service of historical white supremacy and are boot licking lackeys and thugs of the racist capitalist ruling class.” She sat there chewing and blinking, chewing and blinking.
BREAKING
Former Republican California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Vice President Harris:
“A candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors…
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that.He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger…
I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us."
