      I know for a fact that that’s a lie because it would require him to provide actual goods or services in exchange for money

        Look at the hate we’re breeding

        Look at the fear we’re feeding

        Look at the lives we’re leading

        The way we’ve always done before

        Look at the shoes you’re filling

        Look at the blood we’re spilling

        Look at the world we’re killing

        The way we’ve always done before

        Look in the doubt we’ve wallowed

        Look at the leaders we’ve followed

        Look at the lies we’ve swallowed

        And I don’t want to hear no more

        And I don’t need your civil war

        It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor

        You’re power-hungry, sellin’ soldiers in a human grocery store

        Excerpts from Civil War, “Use Your Illusion II”, Guns & Roses, 1991

        I lacked the experience to understand an album I loved when it was released. Only much later in life did I pay attention to the lyrics and artists’ intent.

        Because they’re old white rocker guys they must be MAGA conservatives?

        Remember Kanye endorsed Trump last time around.

          I listen to a morning radio show with grandpa rockers who regularly talk about their glory days with hookers and cocaine and they abhor Trump and the GOP in general.

      That’s giving them too much credit. They know what they’re doing. They win the now. Everything else can catch up later.
