Memorial Day weekend is the time to post “Black Granite.” A Jubal Clark song. Jubal’s voice is like a dry creek bed; unfortunately, I can’t find a link whose quality isn’t distracting. I’ve heard one, but it hasn’t made its way onto the net. So, here’s Blaze, covering “Black Granite.”

When I saw this thread FWIW and Ohio immediately came to mind. They were really before my time, but I learned about them and Dylan too. This one hasn't been posted though.

Hell yeah, man. Hell yeah. Fuck all this noise. We can do so much better. Glad you resurrected this topic.

Anyone remember Election Dejection? Written in 1999. Had some good one liners, but doubt it got out of Austin much.

I have searched for it and nada. Had a copy of it about 15 hard drives ago.

It's been a long time since I've been spoken to you
Was it the right time?
Your current troubles and you know they'll get much worse
I hope you know how much I enjoyed them
You're a pig of a person, there's a justice in this world
Hey, how about this?
Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality
Well, more and more people know all about it
We sat around the other night, me and the guys,
Trying to find the right word
That would best fit and describe you and people like you
That no principle has touched no principles baptized
How about that?
Who'd eat shit and say it tasted good
If there was some money in it for him
Hey, you remember that song by this guy from Texas
Whose name was Bobby Fuller?
I'll sing it for you it went like this
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

On the previous page, but the message bears repeating 

 

Make slogans great again


Consider the 14th amendment

This one fits Winter of 2025 just about right.  I saw the Fugs play this live at a free gig on the campus of Rice University, yes, The Insitute on South Main, in April of 1969 with Tricky Dick freshly installed in the White House.  History does repeat itself, although the Turnip canlt play piano for shit.

Surely this song is posted in this thread somewhere.  If so, well here it is again:
 

Absolutely jaw-dropping fucking masterpiece, imo

I don't know if a hundred people have heard this. Came out exclusively to independent stores on Record Day in 2014. It was a scathing indictment of the Bush/Cheney years. It's even more applicable today.

"She says, in this house it's so easy/To set a world on fire/All you need is a name/The money/And a soul full of reckless desire"

 

Quote

They’re holdin’ a committee, of treason and lies
Doublespeak and sedition, then somebody dies
From the hill the smell of lilacs, the repeat of guns
She closes the window, draws the blinds
Her first touch sucks the air from my lungs
Hey blue eyes, what’cha doin’ tonight?
Hey blue eyes yea it’s all right

She says in this house we’ve abandoned history
In this house there are no laws
Just the false taste of paradise, and then the fall
In this house the guilty go unpunished, blood and silence prevail
Here the dead remain nameless, the nameless remain jailed
Hey blue eyes, what’cha doin’ tonight?
Hey blue eyes yea it’s all right

In this house there’s just the dust of bones
The basement’s filled with lye
In this house our son’s and daughters, are spilled like wine
So come close my pretty darlin’ and let me feel your disease
Tonight I’ll have you naked, and crawlin’ at the end of my leash
Hey blue eyes, what’cha doin’ tonight?
Hey blue eyes hey it’s all right

She says, in this house it’s so easy
To set a world on fire, all you need is a name, the money
And a soul full of reckless desire
Now upstairs the landlord is dining with all of his very close friends
Don’t worry they’ll have their bags packed and be long gone
Before the real fucking begins
Hey blue eyes, what’cha doin’ tonight?
Hey blue eyes hey it’s all right

This wasn't aired apparently. Edit: might have been seen in some markets. There's a mix in the comments. 

I ran across him about six months ago. If ever '3 chords and the truth' applied this is it.
