Boy, I hate to say this because I do like Emmylou Harris' music, but she is one very liberal person. That whole crew of her, Townes Van Zant, Steve Earle, Norman Blake, etc... are all really good musician's, but are very socialist in nature. Earle was quoted saying he was left of Mao Tse Tung (sp?).
The problem with folks like this, as far as I can see, is they've lost touch with the reality of the working man. They've got more money than they'll ever want, they get special treatment where ever they go and come to believe the world is that way. Put them to digging ditches and paying taxes without their accountants and attorneys finding all the loopholes and they'll come to realize what reality for nearly everyone else is. Emmylou is kind of a hyprocrite. She's a nice person, but, at least in the past, she used to eat beef. She's part of the make your own truth contingent in country music, which is as liberal, if not more so than most rock artists. She was engaged to communist and outspoken rock artist, Graham Parsons (who killed himself). There is some great music out there that has been written by some very strange people.
Just because you have a microphone, doesn't make you smart.
