    I guarantee Walz knows what it’s about, and he chose it for that reason.

        Just a reminder that Ann Coulter and Tucker fucking Carlson are “deadheads” too. Walz is great and I think he gets it, but the evidence of that is what he’s done not the band merch he wears.

          This thread is about whether or not Walz was aware of the lyrics of a Neil Young song. Being a fan of The Grateful Dead added to the discussion.

          Walz seems like a respectable person. We will see how that plays out. Charles Manson and Mark Chapman were obsessed with Beatles, but I don’t associate them to everyone else who enjoys their music. So I’m not really clear on the point being made here.

      I find it incredibly unlikely that he’s going to enter into a conversation on American failures and cruelty as a VP candidate for the party currently in the White House.

      But I would be damned impressed if he ended up coming out to “we got a thousand points of light for the homeless man, we got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand” rather than the chorus. Worried, but impressed.
