Ambiguity is what makes certain rock lyrics legendary, and this song is no exception. Thanks, I looked on Wikipedia. I'm leaning toward whiskey bottle. Fascinating history, though.

The Drive-By Truckers are coming to Florida again. I'm going to see them on 1-26 in Orlando and then again on 2-2 in Fort Lauderdale (I happen to be conveniently located equal distances from the two cities).
Disclaimer: this isn’t actually meant to challenge the rules or why the song was removed, or Ms. Mod’s authority, just thought I’d throw it out there
The whole anti-communist song wasn’t meant to challenge anyone’s political views or even state mine. I realize that the song challenged American politics in the later half, but it’s also a piece of historical media that represents the days during the Cold War, the song is 52-3 years old, and although it’s political motivations and ideals are still very much alive, the actual political events aren’t. My point is it’s a song that represents what 60’s Cold War era politics were like, not something meant to offend or challenge anyone’s actual beliefs.
I’m not a person who politically sides, or thinks lesser of people who don’t politically agree with me. It’s a free country, you should vote for who and what you want. It was also posted ironically, the whole joke being that the song was really anti-communist from a point in time when the spread of communism was a big topic.
(I apologize if this falls under the no-politics rule)

I am not familiar with this tune
The video had already been removed earlier by Ms. Mod, so posting it again into a different thread is where you were getting close to crossing the MB rules line.
Videos containing political images/video content will be removed because we no longer have an area of the board where politics are allowed, thank you for your understanding.
I'm going to regret putting my earbuds in for this one, aren't I?
At least Lonnie knows what he’s doingI'm going to regret putting my earbuds in for this one, aren't I?
