60 years of ne-liberal bullshit squeezing out the middle class. speaks truth to power.
not sure what "THE RIGHT" is so upset about....
all the wealthy have been "winning" for decades....amazing how the uneducated and over-worked can be sucked into the hateful anti-immigrangt, anti-woman, anti-american working class narrative that is directly undermining their own intersts.
also, are there "conservative" musicians? like other than ted nugent?
didn't think so...

Kid Rock was a Trump supporter and so was Kanye until he wasn't. Yeezy apparently means flip-flop in K-speak.

There are tons of musicians who identify as libertarian. Neil Pert, Dave Navarro, Big Boi, John Popper...

He sells Lagunitas beer, so that's something.
Lagunitas puts on free small concerts at the brewery amphitheater in Petaluma, McMurtry usually is booked for one of the free shows.

He's really great. He plays
He's really great. He plays here quite a bit and I try to make most shows. Try and see him if you can. I'm not sure how often he cruises through Southern California. He's pretty consistently on the road it seems like though.

Amazingly talented just to remember all the many words in his songs
Saw him many moons ago at the Zephyr Club, used to have a live CD that had a track recorded from there, he plays with a band which I prefer.
Missed a chance to see him this summer at Snowbasion, maybe that damn UtahJen caught the show.
Hi Jen!

Was fortunate to see James on my trip to Austin a couple of years ago. He never disappoints. Got to see Alejandro the night before and The Blasters that week too. Great week at the Continental Club.

I just saw Alejandro a couple of weeks ago. Great show, as always. Man, he dresses so nice. So talented and such a dapper, handsome man.
Hi Hoople! It's been a while since I've heard from you. Hope all is well.
