Willie Nelson singing Jimmy Cliff's "Harder They Come". An unusual cover, no one can have the energy and unoppressable joy of Jimmy Cliff, but Willie Nelson can communicate the Live In Freedom spirit behind it

SCHATZKI- Holiday in Cambodia

cover of the Dead Kennedys' song. Back during the Punk era, my Wichita and South East Kansas FM Rock stations' owner censored Punk Rock. Not surprising in a Religiously conservative rural state. A friend in Hays High public school on the prom committee in 1978 contacted the rock band Kansas to play and they were actually willing, but the Hay High principal wouldn't let them be booked. So Kansas, a very wholesome rock band with excellent musicianship and stage performance presence was "too much" for their own state at the time (But without the trademark and court hassles faced by the band Boston), I went on to work in aircraft factories forever listening to the same frozen in time Rock top 40 play list for the next 20 years that I listened to through out prep School and college. The Sex Pistols, Nine Inch Nails, XTC, or even Big Country, etc never happened. Of course all the punk bands were repeatedly stopping at the Outhouse in Lawrence, KS on their bus tours across the United States and Wichita had its own scene bands like the Embarrassment, but I was working nights building airliners and missed it all, just like I missed the Tulsa sound while living there a decade earlier...So playing the Dead Kennedys or seeing them on MTV on visits to Tulsa with a better cable service was a culture shock to me. Unlike Sid Vicious, I liked Pink Floyd, but I didn't like keyboards in "Rock" music. So to see a real Punk Rock, elemental guitars, base, drums and vocal song like "Holiday in Cambodia" done solely on a piano and still work and still have its original edge is pretty good and unexpected...Its hard to remember now that Pol Pot, a Rockefeller backed joint venture between French progressives and Uncle Sam, actually retired in the suburbs of Cambodia after the "Killing Fields" era....https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-b3fb0af03a5a/ , https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nyti...lpot-obit.html , https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-5c05cfc5983d/
