This Machine Still Kills Fascists

Product Information

Next up on the album is “Never Git Drunk No More”, which Casey duets with American country singer-songwriter Nikki Lane. The song is about a guy who cannot shake his demons and promises to stop drinking for his love; she responds in repeated disbelief and threats of leaving him. It is a song as old as time, especially for those barely scraping by. Lane’s beautiful and haunting voice pairs perfectly with Casey’s in this tragic love song, but who does the singer love more, his girl or the drink?

The band's James Lynch added, “Nora gave us the privilege of going through the archives and selecting some lyrics to use. The common thread that I see through everything was this love for people and this understanding of the universal truth that there is no one person fundamentally better than another person.” In Guthrie's opposition to fascism, he conceptualized the ideology "as a form of economic exploitation similar to slavery," straightforwardly denouncing the fascists – particularly their leaders ( dictators) – as a group of gangsters who set out to "rob the world." [3] This recalled a protest strategy he had used "during the Great Depression, when social, political, and economic inequality had been engendered by a small rich elite." [3] During that era, Guthrie had "romanticized the deeds of outlaws such as Jesse James, Pretty Boy Floyd, Calamity Jane or the Dalton Gang both as legitimate acts of social responsibility and as 'the ultimate expression of protest,' thus transforming the outlaw into an archetypal partisan in a fight against those who were held responsible for the worsening social and economic conditions." [3]Also, I’ve never said anything even remotely close to how Staind speaks more to the plight of workers than Woody Guthrie. What I did say about Woody Guthrie to start off this review is that his name deserves to be more in the conversation as one of the fathers of country music, and concluded this positive review with a congratulatory salutation to the album’s creators. If I had some political aim or bent here, I probably wouldn’t have reviewed this record at all. Boy Ian, those are such grossly incorrect and wild-eyed assumptions you have made about me, they’re not even worth dignifying with the laundry list of hard labor jobs I have done in my life, and for extended periods. You don’t know me, and you couldn’t illustrate that any better than with your comment. Oct. 28 - Raleigh, N.C. @ Raleigh Memorial Auditorium at Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts DKM’s rowdy sound (which it maintains, even in acoustic form) and Guthrie’s words make for an ideal pairing. The band’s longstanding commitment to workers’ rights (they were the recent recipients of a lifetime achievement award from the AFL-CIO) and fighting racism and modern-day Nazism affords them the ability to utilize Guthrie’s words and legacy without seeming kitschy or like an attempt to pump up their own credibility.

The words fascist, communist, anti-semite, racist, etc., are way over used in an attempt to *cancel* out, or evade a discussion… and guess who prompts that behavior? Projectionist, that’s who.
