Oh, and if your referring to I Shot the Sheriff, it was written and first performed by Bob Marley...a well known BLACK man
you've made my point, RMAN...GHWB and Heston were stalwarts among cons...
and even tho Marley wrote the song the year before Clapton covered it, it didn't even register on the chart, he got very little attention among the mainstream status quo in the US... except for the hippies and drug-counter culture on college campuses, Marley was unknown here until he died...
Clapton's version hit number one and became his signature song...embraced by the mainstream and status quo...where was Heston and GHWB screaming outrage about a song that bragged about shooting the sheriff?
O'Reilly railed about Happy Holidays and turned it into a culture war, essentially stopping people from using that holiday greeting...
the con church wanted to outlaw Darwin's theory of evolution and insisted on the Biblical version of the origin of man be taught in public schools...
ad infinitum...
yet let the libs say, "stop_________" about something that is currently out of fashion and the right goes bonkers about individual rights...
