well, kind of a no-brainer to respond to M.Ward..”Chinese Democracy”..
M.Ward is great by the way..my daughter turned me on to him a few years ago..gave me “Transistor Radio” ..and I went ..”Hmnn..this guys ..good, really good”.
Felt a bit foolish when I realized he was a local musician..that I had ignored for years.
Coulda’ seen him many times..but didn’t.
Better late than never..however.
So here’s Mr. Cockburn..with a classic analysis of the System… “They Call It Democracy”..a beautiful, incisive song..check the lyrics please.
Nothing on youtube or whatever that does the man justice..
When you get the chance..go see him..the real deal… guarenteed.
M. Ward too.
