LOVE ME, I'M A LIBERAL by Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon & Phil Ochs
I cried when they shot John Lennon. Tears ran down my spine. And I cried when I saw "JFK,"as if I'd lost a father of mine. But Malcom-X and Ice-T had it coming. They got what they asked for this time.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal…
I go to pro-choice rallies. Recycle my cans and jars. I'll honk if you love the Dead, and hope those funny Grunge bands become stars. But don't talk about revolution. That's going a little bit too far.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal…
I cheered when Clinton was chosen my faith in the system reborn. I'll do anything to save our schools, if my taxes ain’t too much more. And I love Blacks and Gays and Latinos, as long as they don't move in next door.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal…
Rush Limbaugh and the L.A.P.D., should all hang their heads in shame. I can't understand where they're at, maybe Arsenio should set them all straight. But if neighborhood watch doesn't know you, then I hope that the cops take down your name.
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal...
Yeah, I read the New Republic, and Rolling Stone and Mother Jones, too. If I vote, then it's a Democrat, with a sensible economy view. But when it comes to terrorist Arabs there’s no one more red, white, and blue!
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal…
Once I was young, had an attitude. Stickers covered the car I drove in. Even went on some direct actions, when there weren't rent-a-cops to be seen. Ah, but now I've grown older and wiser, and that's why I'm turning you in!
I’ve heard Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits many times, and I love Sultans of Swing. I saw them live many years ago in a concert with several other bands. It may have been with “The Who. Thanks for reminding me of the fun times I’ve had.
Whenever my nerves are jangled (which is pretty much daily … oh wait … maybe hourly these days) Mark Knopfler’s music seems to help. Glad it’s included here! 🩷💗
Blue on Black is such a great song I’m going to add it to my playlist 🙂!
Mark Knopfler is another great choice. He’s also another interesting dude. I saw him perform years ago and much like Robert Plant only played current songs. Refused to play anything else.
Kurt Vile I just heard of him recently going through Apple musics new releases I downloaded and listened to his new album Philadelphia’s Been Good to Me TBH I think I’m
I didn't know that Kenny Wayne was Mel Gibson's son in law! Definitely check that collaboration with Bobby Rush out. I love Mark Knoffler. He has a distinctive sound. He makes it look easy. Excellent session today. Have a good one!😀😘
I love those little tidbits of trivia…like the Mel Gibson connection. 😂 I’m listening to that Bobby Rush effort right now. oh my! Just terrific! Have a decent week and dont forget your allergy meds!!
Mark was my late husband's favorite and we saw him in person many times. A highlight was an outdoor venue in Florence, Mass where he performed " Telegraph Road."
Thanks so much for showcasing Kurt Vile here …I think his best album so far was his self recorded one during Covid called “watch my moves“… I am listening to his new album, which of course is pretty darn wonderful and I get to see him live July 11! In Santa Fe, he hasn’t been here for a number of years. I cannot wait.
Kurt and Courtney’s ‘Whole Lotta Sea Lice’ is a great album. Wonderful duet pair.
Thanks Michael…✌️
I agree….they seem to be suited for one another. It was a great album!!
This you?

Never heard of Kurt Vile. I liked him. What would it take for me to have his hair? I want his hair.
I want his hair, too. 🤣
Philadelphia is proud of this lad!!
Lucinda Williams. IMO, she reigns over all of them. The first time I heard one of her songs I was hooked. Still am!
Susan! You rock. 🎸
Thanks for that reminder…I forgot all about Lucinda! My designer turned me on to her… She’s tremendous!
I listen to her on repeat.
Love Sultan‘s of Swing, though Release end seventies it was a hit throughout my roaring disco 80s.

Jealous! That musta been an amazing show! ❤️. I’ll be seeing you soon!!

Thank you for suggesting it! He’s pretty incredible! 👏👏👏. See you soon!

Going to have to give it another listen.
Kurt is really good…an acquired taste. Give him a few listens!
Blue on Black is just terrific I loved the Five Finger Death Punch version too!
I often do that listen to something let it sit and go back later and come out with an entirely different perspective 🙂. Great choices!

Great tunes!! Thanks!!!
I could listen to Mark Knopfler play anything,any time,anywhere!
Me, too. Find ‘Telegraph Road’ on You Tube… it’s wonderful! 💙💙
Mark was my late husband's favorite and we saw him in person many times. A highlight was an outdoor venue in Florence, Mass where he performed " Telegraph Road."
Oh wow! That must be a memorable time. 💙💙

Thank you for reminding me! He’s so good. I love his work with Courtney Barnett too. That concert ought to be fantastic!! Have a great time!
Recently, Kenny Wayne recently teamed up with the legendary bluesman Bobby Rush for an album- naturally, it turned out great: https://www.kennywayneshepherd.net/articles/bobby-rush-and-kenny-wayne-shepherd-unite-together-on-new-blues-album-titled-young-fashioned-ways
It is.😃
Thanks for this David…will be going to this album. I’m sure its excellent.
💙💙
What I’ve heard of it is. “Tell Me Who” is in the well-worn accuse-my-wife-of-cheating-on-me subgenre of the blues, and gives it some new life.
