Saturday Nite Nostalgia–A Down with Neo-con-ish, Soshalist-ish Folksie-Trippy Kinda Way

Yeah, we’re stickin’ with the ‘what’s old is new again’ them to cap off a Saturday.

I’m goin’ to send this out to St-Stevie, Jason Kenney,  Helena Guergis, Rahim Jaffer, Jim Flaherty, Vic Toews, Reverend Stock; oh hell! All the Harpercons, cause if they do gets their majority, I think many of us will need to ‘get out of town’ indeedy.

A classic out of Woodstock and obscure too.

Below is Merle Haggard’s version of Woody Guthrie’s “Jesus Christ”. This version was one of the songs at the closing credit roll on Michael Moore’s latest movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story”, which was just released on DVD, by the by. I highly recommend it! Great movie.

Listen to the lyrics; Woody Guthrie’s original was released in 1940. Amazing foresight he had about today’ s morality of greed and self-centeredness, not to mention, that pathological unexplainable fear of soshalism; and that unfortunately, anything pertaining to helping your fellow man is soshalism. According to him and yes, the bible stories from where this songs inspiration more than likely came from, Jesus was a soshalist,  if we were to use that loose meaning in today’s North American culture of fear, greed and ignorance. Most American  neo-cons even know this, otherwise, why would the likes of Andy Schlafly et al be rewriting the bible? Funny how these neo-cons from the Evangelical Christian far right would probably crucify Jesus themselves once the truth finally smacked them silly.

Happy Saturday Nite All!
