I'd agree with this. Can't really think of any exceptions except maybe some of Rush's libertarian, Ayn Rand-celebrating stuff has some conservative appeal.

I know plenty of "older" folks who adore Dylan and other protest singers, but have always been conservative. I think there were some who hoped to change the world, but lots who wanted to get laid, get, high, and enjoy some cool music.

So you contend the Avetts don't mean it as much as Springsteen singing Seeger, eh? Do you have insight into the Avetts' faith? I love Springsteen and don't begrudge him a thing, but I would contend that Gates and Buffett are more generous with their wealth than he is. Lennon wrote Imagine, but I don't think he meant it.

I wouldn't expect a non-Christian to get fidgety when the Avett Brothers break out "Just a Closer Walk With Thee". I think we've been through this before, but there are all sorts of reasons a person can enjoy a political song even if they don't agree with the message.

Clinton did not run for office after the Lewinsky scandal, the last time he was publicly embarrassed in a sex scandal. Others want him to get out because his campaign is clearly a joke and dragging down the image of the party.

I gotta say I find it FUCKING ridiculous these reports that both Clintons are pissed at Anthony Weiner. I can understand Hillary being pissed for her former employee and friend, Huma Abedin, Weiner's wife. She can probably provide great counsel to Abedin having endured her own husband's escapades. Bill? He's got no reason or room for outrage. His own failings were worse than what we know of Weiner's. Sexting people who aren't your wife is one thing, and wouldn't end well for me, personally. But engaging in actual sexual relations is a whole other ballgame.

Do their videos count?

Damn

Why do you hate America?

Ian Hunter? All the Young Dudes? WTF?

If all the jobs these people -- and other legal citizens who do work outside the sphere of our laws -- suddenly got the wages, benefits, and working conditions demanded by our laws, the people who bitch about illegal immigrants would be bitching about inflation.

I think the best solution is to allow more legal immigration. Laws, fences, and walls aren't going to stop them, and like Jules said, there are some jobs that people who were born here don't seem to want.

This is true. I also wonder how many have jobs for which FICA and income taxes are withheld, but they don't file because they're illegal. Therefore, as citizens, they'd be due refunds. I'm sure there's some data on this. But why bother with data when we have Steve King.

They benefit from services like public education. We fund them.

Bassist Nate Mendel

Here's a thing: Wilco: Formed 1994, several lineup changes, only 2 members have remained throughout. Lead singer / guitarist, bassist Foo Fighters: Formed 1994, several lineup changes, only 2 members have remained throughout. Lead singer / guitarist, bassist And, yes, I know, Foo Fighters was originally just Dave Grohl, but come on, it's something.

Kent and Kirby (even Kirby for a girl) Harmon and Rod were on the long list. But, let's face it, they're just not great names. We went with Henry and Hayden (girl). There is a sports connection for one of them. No, not Hank Aaron.

As a lifelong Twins fan and a father of twins, this really makes my smile.

I wondered if this would turn up.

When I saw the Louris/Olson tour, they played at 2-4 songs from Rainy Day Music. Of course, they also played some Olson solo material to even things out. Probably not going to be much Olson solo material on a Jayhawks setlist.

With EVERCLEAR!!

I can't believe we've dedicated a page and a half to this statement.

Guys, Live is playing a FREE CONCERT here in Des Moines tonight for the RAGBRAI riders!!!!

This. It's pretty amazing the conclusions people draw about someone with opposing views.

Because he was the 1st to make a deal. My sense of it as that MLB wants to target him and A Rod because of their stature. The lesser knowns will cave easier after that.
