Folk Singers

This is a pet peeve, similar to the things about sharks and other noxious animals...

What exactly is the poor leftist supposed to do when the folk singer turns out to be a pig?? Most extreme case might be that of Judy Collins...

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WEDNESDAY, JUNE 09 1999 00:14:03 UTC XXXXX

Anti-war activist Judy Collins is set this evening to sing at a gala White House state dinner -- all the while, the US led NATO war against Yugoslaviacontinues unrestrained.

Collins, who made her name over the last 35 years as a social conscience, is known for her renditions of anti-war songs such as 'Masters of War', 'Song For Sarajevo', 'Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream' and 'Fortune of Soldiers'.

Calls to Collins' label ELEKTRA asking for clarification on whether her fans can still apply her passionate, idealistic songs to the current war in the Balkans were unreturned.

Incidentally, tonight's dinner -- honoring the President of the Republic of Hungary, Arpad Goncz and his wife, Mrs. Zsuzsanna Goncz -- features a menu of Copper River Salmon with Portobello Mushroom, Roasted Onions and Sweet Peppers, Fennel and Herb Salad, Toasted Caraway and Tomato Sauce, Pecan Crusted Lamb, Wilted Summer Greens, Sweet Potato Flan, Barbequed Peach Ragout, Salad of Bibb Lettuce, Asparagus and Avocado, Stilton Crisp, Tarragon Grapefruit Dressing.

And for dessert: Bing Cherry Strudel Surprise and Creme Fraeche....

Folk song, anybody?

How about:

"Last night I had the strangest dream, I ever had before,
I dreamed Slick Clinton put ol Judy Collins on the floor,
with an oink oink here, and an oink oink there,
here an oink, there an oink.....

or possibly:

JUUUUUU-DEEEEEE
You know you gotta put on a re-ed light
The DNC needs money so
You gotta sell your body to the night

Put on that RE-EED LIGHT,
Put on that RE-EED LIGHT,
Put on that RE-EED LIGHT............

Somebody trying to figure this struff out in the mid to late 1960s could easily have gotten the mistaken idea that demokkkrats and leftists were basically anti-war. We know now that it's only the politically incorrect wars that they're against...
