You got that right. I just spoke up because Mr. Chicken Hawk said anyone in a uniform would agree with his views. I served eight years and I only knew a couple of weirdos who thought like he does.

Ha! you know its funny how these conversations get so far away from the MUSIC! As a Canadian its pretty fuckin funny to watch you fucks arguing about the DUMBEST fuckin shit. Everyone is just sittin back and waiting for you guys to self destruct and turn the guns on yourselves. You guys are unreal! ANYWAYS I love the band and this is a great song, even better live. LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT!!!!!!!!!

By the sounds of things, and if you think the Beatles are the measuring stick for all types of rock and pop, then not only is your taste dubious, but your undestanding and knowledge of music and it's complexities and history leave a great deal to be desired. Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm the fact.

As opposed to the corrupt and filthy members of the british army who have killed and tormented far more people than the IRA has ever harmed, or people like Margaret Thatcher that proposed they go the way of what Cromwell attempted to do and commit genocide on the Irish, including all of those innocent women and children??

My great great ... ( 3 days ago by jockherbertperry)

My great great uncle was a Brigadier General in the Florida Guards. Preservation of state rights was the key reason Southerners fought the Union - slavery was merely the moral instrument used by the Federal Govt (Union), to wage war. Same crap still happening today (Oil=Iraq). Maybe the South was right after all. Long live the South.

slavery was just propaganda to keep the europeans out of the war.

If you dont think ... ( 3 days ago by britishinvasion1)

If you dont think that The Beatles are the Measuring stick for pop/rock then you dont have any critical knowledge of modern music. The beatles single handedly legitimized the pop/rock as a art form. No other can make that claim. One could say that the "Beatles" are when people stopped dancing and started listening to the music. Without them average/mediocre bands like the "Band" would never have been heard.

What does the ... ( 3 days ago by bernardshakey2)

What does the Beatles have to do with "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"??? No one gives a fuck about it.

American ... ( 2 days ago by Napier1000)

American traditional music made people sit down and listen long before the Beatles. So did blues, blue grass, etc etc. Both White and Black southern and Appalachian music along with Irish influence made American music long before the Beatles came along. My view is the Beatles and Stones were the beginning of the end of real music. Hell the dam Stones were ripping off one old southern black musician after another...Don Mclean was right!

I don't think you can equate slavery with 'blood for oil.'

You have heard of ... ( 2 days ago by OmbraSorrore)

You have heard of classical music yes?? people listened to that without dancing, and also gospel - both choir and rock had people listening without dancing. I also don't think they had many people dancing to the vast majority of blues or bluegrass either. Bands like this one were around long before the fabricated boy bands like the Beatles and the Monkees and they will be around long after them too, & as it happens I have a rather comprehensive critical knowledge of modern music. 5 years worth.

You do get the occasional band or artist with this much passion, just not a lot of them and not consistently...
