  • SamRobertsND +1Harry McClintock is one of the great masters; if you like American folk, you better be thanking him, as he is at the head of that tradition in its modern form. This song perfectly captures the theme, portraying the fantastic, anarchic dreamland of the American hobo, whose modern successors are the schizophrenic drifters at OLR who will get into heaven long before any of us. You get my last upvote.
  • Joseph Harvey +1Hits the nail on the head. Also pokes fun at the socialist utopian fantasy as being just that
  • judd.baker +1Also inspired choice. I love reading this as a sort of ironic communist anthem. Great submission
  • Edward James 0I LOVE this song, but don’t feel it gets the category fit well enough to earn a vote. Watch “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” if you haven’t
  • fionmul 0I think we need more votes since there are this many songs now… I liked this
  • Claire -1Maybe this is way off (but I wouldn’t be the first person in this group to give a way of interpretation)…I read this as a satire on the absurdity of a communist utopia. Hard to pick a downvote this round but it must be done
