AMERICA: Love it or leave it
What a list of nerdy songs
I donno, do I want soldiers who don't fear death or those who jump up and die? Hmm... (great, the Green Beret song is stuck in my head).
The great one here is the Bonanza one, but that's because I really like Michael Landon. The Davy Crockett song... XD Oh man. Is this the best 'murica has to offer!?
This Shining Path song, "Bandera Roja," is pretty chilling though:

It's cool, but kind of scary since it all went downhill and killed many of the people they were fighting for, in horrible ways, and then the state basically went on a witch hunt for all SP members and killed even more people. It's kind of funny how Abimael Guzman, the one who started Shining Path, and the head of Peru's security intelligence Vladimiro Montesinos, are in jail together, haha. They were both terrible.
My dad thought the original message was good though, a lot of people supported it, even the city people, but how it turned out was awful and then the peasants hated SP. No wonder he knows so much about Mao, Lenin, and Stalin, even more than I'm studying! (lol, he's recommending me more songs that SP used right now XD)
