conservative rock?

NRO assembled a list of songs that are about conservative ideas, or at least have a couple of conservative(-ish) lyrics. Some are great, but at least half of them are taken waaaay out of context. Some of the better examples are:
  • “Taxman” by The Beatles
  • “Don’t Tread on Me” by Metallica
  • “The Trees” by Rush
  • “Obvious Song” by Joe Jackson
  • “Government Cheese” by The Rainmakers
  • “I Can’t Drive 55” by Sammy Hagar
Plus, they forgot about "Bound And Gagged" by Ted Nugent, which summed up what many Americans thought about the Iranian hostage crisis.
