Brownback is using the band 'Kansas' for his campaign stops????

[devilgrrl]

You know, the "Carry on my wayward son..." Kansas.

How'd this happened?

:crazy:

[JeffR]

1. Dust In the Wind?

[devilgrrl]

2. I'm suddenly reminded of how utterly LAME they were.

Sorry, Progressive Rock blows.

[Mythsaje]

3. LOL

Whatever.

[JeffR]

8. I have my prog faves

But Kansas never made the list. "Dust In the Wind" would be pretty appropriate, however.

4. Did Kansas Go Fundie?

5. Kansas was always a Jesus band.

They tried to disguise it, much like U2.

6. U2 Is A Jesus Band

How

[evlbstrd]

10. Lyrically.

Bono and Edge have mentioned it in some interviews. Granted, they're subtle about it.

9. They Didn't Disguise It

Around 1980, a station I was with sponsored a Kansas concert (in their heyday)...before the show Kerry Livgren and several of the roadies went into the backstage men's room and held a prayer vigil. A lot of us chuckled as usually when we went into that mens room we'd encounter all forms of copulation going on...

:rofl:

12. Kansas wasn't subtle, you're right.

U2 was better at the disguise.

7. So Sam is the wayward son?

How does he figure that? Is this one of those times when the conservative politician doesn't know anything about the song or the group like Reagan praising Springsteen's, "Born in the USA," without realizing it was a critical song or Pat Buchanan using, "We Will Rock You," by Queen, whose lead singer was bisexual?

13. Brownback's campaign will soon be "Dust In the Wind".

:P

11. Wants to expand pro-life movement to include the "child in Darfur" and child in poverty

The first somewhat decent thing I've heard from a repug all year (although the premise is wrong as far as limiting a woman's right to choose).
