I love Zimmerman's work.

1. I loved the Foremen

Zimmerman's a freakin' genius. Too bad he never got the recognition he deserves.

2. Folk Heroes is one of my favorite records.

"Ain't No Liberal" is just an effing brilliant song.

3. Which one?

Their first CD, on Metaphor Records, was called "Folk Heroes." Then Reprise re-released it with some new tracks and re-recorded versions of other ones. I thought the first "Ain't No Liberal" was better.

The second one, though, has "Ollie, Ollie Off Scot Free" and "Russian Limbaugh," which are absolute mastery of musical puns. It also has "Firing the Surgeon General" and "Hell Froze Over," which destroys me.

4. I have the re-release

I really like My Conservative Girlfriend as well.

I'ma gonna have to get my hands on the Metaphor release to hear the original version of Ain't No Liberal I guess.

5. It's not that different

There's no keyboard, they don't do the a cappella bit on the chorus near the end and they added two lines in the remake.

I think the original sounds more like a song from a revival meeting.

6. Perfect

7. While we're at it, what about his "Defenders of Marriage"...?

After all, it seems appropriate.

Every time we think about same-sex marriage
It makes us sick to our guts
I mean, two people who want to commit to a stable
Monogamous life-long relationship
What are they, nuts?
It's unnatural!
Now a man should not lie with a person who is a guy
He should only lie to his wife, the bible is clear
We're —
Defenders of marriage
In three-button suits
We'll raise our double standard and see who salutes
Defenders of marriage
Defending the institution against people who want to get married

Every time we think about same-sex parents
"Oh, my gosh!" we exclaim
I mean, two people who want to provide a protective
And nurturing family environment
Have they no shame?
It's so deviant!
It's the Lord's holy word, as my second wife said to my third
That a family's based on obligation and fear
We're —
Defenders of marriage
Connubial narcs
Ever vigilant and patriotic patriarchs
Defenders of marriage
Defending the institution against people who want to get married

One summer evening when my woman was doing laundry
I shared a six-pack with an old John Bircher
And oh so wisely he imparted an ancient quandary, to ponder
He said, "It's nature versus legislature."

(Spoken) Are people born gay, or do they turn gay just to piss off Dick Armey?

We're an army of dicks
With a militant stance
Let's get the government out of our lives and into our pants
Defenders of marriage
Defending the institution against people who want to get married
And have their insurance carried
And be beneficiary'd
And be next to the ones they love when they are buried
