Recently, some good person decided they needed my car's AM antenna more than I did. The inability to listen to my usual "right-wing, fascistic, insensitive claptrap" has left me floundering in the world of FM. Still, the FM Band has reminded me of an old truth: Country Music is Truly the Last Refuge of Rock and Roll. More importantly, I discovered "a song for our time;" albeit, a six year old song.
Years ago, I asked a musician friend to write a song with a similar, but more strident theme; to my knowledge, he never did. I took a shot; but, I am no song writer. Darryl Worley has indeed written "a song for our time." Click on the title of this post to hear 30 seconds of his song; and you will understand what I mean.
(The song should start automatically, probably in a new window. If a window opens but nothing plays, pick sample number one.)
I do hope you click the link; maybe buy the song; and, of course, pass along a link to this post. If the song is "old news" to you, you might want to pass it on anyway just to jar someone's memory. As for me, perhaps I need to listen to music on FM more than once or twice a year. After I scrape together ninety-nine cents, I may just download the single.
