Are we sure this isn’t a parody? Because I don’t think someone is that stupid to believe that a song from 1990 was about 9/11 truthers.

Ugh.

"It is truly a time when England "rocks the cash bar." A little pun there."

Why pretend to have the clash when they really did have Johnny Ramone, God rest his arch-conservative soul. Remember when we was all "I love you G.W.!" at the hall of fame inductions? And then Dee Dee died.

Sigh.

@Ahh! Jim lad!: Now that conservatives have figured out Google, we're all done for. It's only a matter of time before they discover Bryan Ferry.

I’m just too blown away that a conservative uttered the name Steve Albini.

@John P Strohm:

He writes all of the show previews for our local (Birmingham, AL - his home town), generally conservative arts weekly.

You mean Black & White, right? That's how I became familiar with him too. (They licensed some of my pieces from another weekly, back in the day.)

@Mike P.: I'm very familiar with J.R. He writes all of the show previews for our local (Birmingham, AL - his home town), generally conservative arts weekly. His previews are often negative and irreverent, so he's made many enemies among local musicians, promoters and club owners. I've listened to dozens upon dozens of tirades about J.R. over the years. I believe he would say "mission accomplished."

Is anyone else familiar with the writings of conservative rock critic J.R. Taylor? Actually, it appears he's branching out into general pop culture writing: [rightwingtrash.com]

As you can see, he's big on trumping his conservative conservative-ness. It gets pretty old, if you ask me.
