It doesn’t get mentioned that often,

Probably the most known fact about George Washington after the fact he was first president of the USA.

I only posted the Sex Pistols (John Lydon) in relation to being a "rong'un" by writing and performing Anti Monarchy and Anti Social Behaviour songs/lyrics. At that time most of the establishment thought they were akin to total anarchists who sought to upturn the whole social tier systems in place in the UK in the 70's/80's..

And they did to some degree, and had many supporters of their cause.

Nothing more than that.

So I can continue to play Pretty vacant and Holidays in the Sun then. Holidays in the Sun is a great song with a message about the segregation of the cold war.

Wrong is wrong, but what I find difficult at times is the need to go back in history and apply modern values to vilify historical figures

What I find difficult is the need to include presidents/politicians/dictators in a thread about music.

I thought Johhny Cash was on the side of the angels?

I’m pretty sure I heard him say he shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Man, that’s some cold shit.

I’ve struggled with Richard Hell after starting his autobiography and him pining for BJs from a 15 yo groupie...

How about poor Alex Harvey he was Framed
The cops took me to a little room where the bright light shines
There were 10 poor souls like me standin in a line
I knew i was a victim of somebodys evil plan
When a stool pigeon look at me and said there's your man
I never did nothin
