This is definetly not "John Wayne territory", with songs like "General
Custer Don't Ride So Well No More", well it's actually just called "Custer"
but that'll give you an idea about the direction of the songs. JC caught
seven kinds of hell over that record, blaclisted on the southern stations,
almost thrown out of the Country Music Association ect, ect. He took out a
fullpage add in "Billboard", basically saying that he didn't care, and
ending the letter:
"But as an American who is almost a half-breed Cherokee-Mohawk (and who
knows what else ?) - I had to fight back when I realized that so many
stations are afraid of "Ira Hayes".
Just one question : WHY ???"

Ahhhh yes, Ira Hayes brings it all back. I *do* remember all of that.

Take care,
Tom

P.S. Check out Ira Hays on the net if you don't know about him.
P.P.S. Love vinyl too, not just for the sound but also for cover, handling
and overall "aura", but don't tell the "digital chauvinists" ;-)

Agreed with the above. I happen to think that there's more than
utility to hobbies.
