"If for some reason, there’s still confusion, Dropkick Murphys’ new album This Machine Still Kills Fascists will clear it up. The record finds Casey and the band setting their supercharged brand of music to the lyrics of Woody Guthrie, the quintessential folk-protest singer and Oklahoma native who championed the working class and famously scribbled “This machine kills fascists” on his acoustic guitar. There are stomping anthems castigating “crooks,” “robbers,” and “rats” (“Ten Times More”), shout-alongs celebrating unions (“All You Fonies”), and smoldering indictments of wealthy hypocrisy and cruelty (“The Last One”).

Dropkick Murphys worked closely with the folksinger’s daughter Nora Guthrie and the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa — where the group recorded the LP with producer Ted Hutt — to scour Guthrie’s archives for previously unpublished lyrics. The band had already cut two of Guthrie’s compositions in their career, “Gonna Be a Blackout Tonight” and their best-known song, “I’m Shipping Up to Boston.”

The "people" who are mad know nothing...zilch...nada about Pink Floyd. They were probably born in the early to mid 90s and have only a fleeting knowledge of The Wall at best because they have seen the movie.

That is one of the most iconic album covers of all times!

I have to wonder, do these same people get upset with their god when they witness an actual rainbow?
They are prism-ers of their own mind.
