Charles Pierce is so good that I would feel remiss in adding my own commentary to his smackdown of National Review’s pathetic attempt to find 50 conservative rock songs. The first sentence says it all: “Oh, Lord, sometimes, you make the fish so big and the barrel so small.”
So just go read it at The American Prospect site.
Joe Strummer is probably scratching at his grave right now. Have they neer listened to any other clash songs, like know your rights?
you’ve got the right to free speech

AHH YES…. because remember kiddies, conservatives have a monopoly on morality……
not.
