JJM, I don’t want to open a can of worms or anything — or reopen a debate or contest — but, it just so happens, I received a letter yesterday that named “the best conservative rock song ever”: or so my correspondent thinks. It was just a line in passing. The letter was not about songs or music at all. But my correspondent mentioned Steppenwolf’s John Kay, a refugee from the Soviets. And he said that Kay’s song “Renegade” was “the best conservative rock song ever.” I pass no judgment, and don’t even offer an opinion: just sharing a line from a letter fresh in my mind.
