Good. He should have done that on his own time.

What a dumbass. I found two old KKK records (78's, ca. 1920's or 30's, I'd guess) at the local thrift store once. I have had more requests for CD copies of those songs than I care to admit, and the requests are not coming from folks who are interested in hearing historical recordings, if you know what I mean. Obviously, I have declined those offers. I'll probably wind up giving the records to a museum eventually.

That was pretty stupid on the trooper's part. It's hard to imagine someone carrying a gun who has such poor judgement!

Speaking of records of racist songs, ever hear any of David Allen Coe's? Howard Stern has played some of them on the radio. They're pretty bad.

Yes I have. Disturbing stuff. One of the guys who was pestering me for a copy of the Klan records was a big Coe fan and had all his "bootleg" recordings (the racier stuff).

David Allan Coe does have many great songs. Not all of them are racist songs, just his most controversial ones, he is more into the "shock country" genera the same way GWAR is shock rock.

Nothing beats a good Johnny Rebel song although Racist Redneck Rebels have a few good hits. Prussian Blue just gets by on their looks, their singing is horrible.

Yes, I have a large VARIETY of music.

Absolutely true; the man's got talent. For me, personally, though, the content of some of his songs taints the rest of his catalog. Just a personal thing.
