Talk:Essay:Greatest Conservative Songs (view source)
Revision as of 02:39, September 21, 2011
, 02:39, September 21, 2011→This Land Is Your Land (Woody Guthrie): many versions, but is it conservative - or just a song that one conservative likes, i.e., me?
:Like all great art, this song contains some ambiguity and requires the listener's interpretation. Like "Consider Yourself" (from [[Oliver!]]), there's a mixture of idealistic brotherhood with hint of the sort of knavery we associate with [[Robin Hood]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:58, 10 September 2011 (EDT)

::There is an alternate version that's something like "''This land is my land, '''it isn't your land''''' involving guns and shooting trespassers.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 14:59, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

:::"An" alternate version? There are dozens of extra verses beyond the 3 we use at Bible camp. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 22:39, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

: I don't think that Jerusalem is a conservative song. We were taught at school that it was a call to arms against industrialization and hence is it is also anti-capitalist, also I don't think that any song Billy Bragg has recorded can be called conservative.--14:20, 20 September 2011 (EDT)[[User:Jloveday|Jloveday]]
