Arlo Guthrie is a...Republican?

Through the windless wells of wonder
ReplyDeleteBy the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
People hurry by so quickly
Dont they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me
Songs to aging children came
This is one
Well one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small and the one that mother gives you turns you into a....Republican!*

Ron Paul of Texas, the maverick Republican candidate for president. “I love this guy,” Guthrie declared in a press release issued by the Paul campaign. “Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there.”
ReplyDelete“I’m with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes [the Constitution] has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago,” Guthrie said in the endorsement. “I look forward to the day when we can work out the differences we have with the same revolutionary vision and enthusiasm that is our American legacy.” '
