Or does he just have some hot/weird takes that got him in trouble?
Someone on Reddit told me he (Rovics) thinks Matthew Heimbach has reformed, for instance. Reading Heimbach's Wikipedia page he still sounds like a massive Nazbol to me (emphasis on the Naz)
I struggle to believe Rovics could make a mistake like that. I've listened to all his music, never seen him miss in a song that I can think of. Also talked to him prior to learning this and he seems cool to me
I'm suspended on Reddit for 3 days. That's why I'm asking here for now. Most charitable thing might be to ask Rovics to explain himself, but I'd have to make a Twitter account again
are you kidding me those lyrics are straight up trash lmao
way too long winded. leftist music equivalent of a leftist 20k word essay disguised as a meme
phil ochs was this but not hammy as fuck
Too many words in my music. Workers good boss bad
His style is a few chords, maybe in a cool open tuning, exceptional picking and strum patterns, and relatively low-quality lyrics because Rovics churns these songs out. He released a song about a tiktok ban attempt like 12 hours after the news broke. They aren't church-hymn simple lyrics like the IWW handbook because they're not singalong songs.
yeah and the fact that they arent makes them trash
enjoy your nursery rhymes. The American collective music tradition is dead
