One of the top ... well, 20 (at least) albums of last year was the Dropkick Murphy's release of Woody Guthrie tunes. Punk is punk, no matter how heavy.

Yes. "This machine kills fascists." Doesn't discuss in order to arrive at a common understanding.

This is a really good joke but I have to stipulate that there are at least TWO "I love America" songs. If just this verse doesn't say that then I don't know what does:
"I'd like to dream
My troubles all away
On a bed of California stars"
