[QUOTE="elanor, post: 8750713, member: 17615"] :scratch: Anyone who goes to a Don Henley concert and is surprised by his expression of his political opinion obviously hasn't listened to his music. Henley's music is filled with politics--and that's one of the reasons I like him so much. Look at some of the lyrics: Well the government bugged the men's room In the local disco lounge To keep the boys from sellin' All the weapons that they've found. --from "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" I used to work for Harvester I used to use my hands I used to make the tractors and the combines that plowed and harvested this great land Now I see my handiwork on the block everywhere I turn And I see the clouds cross the weathered faces and I watch the harvest burn --from "A Month of Sundays" O' beautiful, for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie --from "End of the Innocence" I remember the video for this one. With this verse, we saw a Reagan poster and footage of Oliver North testifying before Congress. Anyone surprised by Henley's politics just hasn't been listening. [/QUOTE]
