Trauma's Old School Artist of the Week, Volume 1

[Shallow]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He's just speaking what he feels; Don't insult our American troops and I won't kick your ass. I may not fully agree with the philosophy in the song but I don't listen to music for guidance. I listen because it's art and because it sounds good. Whether I agree with it or not has no impact. Now if every song he did had these views then I'd get sick of it because it'd be tedious after a while.

The song isn't that bad in the philosophy department either;


He admits you have the right to express yourself;


"I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in."


Just don't be stupid about, becayse I can be stupid about it too;


"When they're runnin' down my country, man,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me."

He talks about how it would have been if every one listened to these guys. Now being free and invading don't go hand in hand but the idea is that if America were filled with a hippie majority it would be in trouble, and I have no problem believing that in the 60s Russia would have no problem invading if they thought they could, and no problem winning if it were a hippie country.


"I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.

He also explains about hypocrites that want to have their cake and eat it too

"They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'."

Nice recommendation Trauma. Been listening to Cash religiously for the last couple of weeks, this guy seems along the same sort of line, "Mama Tried" is fantastic song. I think I can relate to the criminal element in these guys.

I wanna name my kid Merle.

Good music is Good music. If a rap song is good, I'm it's biggest fan. If it's shit I'm not afraid to say it's shit, and I'm not going to like it just because it's a westcoast rap song or whatever.

Feeling you on that one! Go and tell We$t Coa$t.

I'll have to admit though; I don't have a clue who Merle Haggard really is. Maybe if I heard it, I would recognise the song, but it's a damn good thing educating dubcc a little. Hookups with samples of the artist's work would be appreciated here tho.

It's definatly a good thing to introduce artists that alot of people here don't know, where are we supposed to get the songs you recommend though ? you can't expect people to buy the album without ever having heard anything from the artists

Come on man, do a little work.  You don't have limewire? you don't have MIRC? You don't have emule or whatever the fuck... I know damn good and well you're downloading music, so if you want to hear it, go download it.
