Your take on Taxman is harsh. The tax rate in 1960s England is more than a misprint, it discouraged the creation of wealth to some degree, which in turn discouraged the creation of jobs, which in turn discouraged the collection of more taxes.

So be careful what you wish for.

Besides, the entire rest of the Beatles catalog is anything but.

From what I understand “Part of The Union” was written by Richard Hudson and John Ford. Dave Cousins is the manin songwriter of The Strawbs The song itself was not characteristic of their overall sound and shortly after it became a hit? Hudson and Ford left to form Hudson Ford. Also as Dave Tomilnson said British Conservatives are different from American Conservative. As a Teamster I don’t always agree with my union. It is a bit more nuanced. Not a criticism at all but just a comment. BTW I can’t stand the Right Brothers and really they should not complain because they don’t play music PERIOD! on MTV.

Wow, if you have gotten nothing else wrong, your take on Get Back In Line is so far off base that I wonder if you EVER listened to the Kinks before.

Ray Davies was always a champion of the working man. The working man versus government, the working man versus corporations, the working man versus big labor.

England isn’t the United States. Taking a stand against unions is not the same as being a Republican Conservative. The government, the corporations, the unions, the Conservative Party have always been part of the mechanism for enforcing the class system in England, for keeping the working man in line.

The Kinks, and many, if not most, of their fans, are (or have been) Liberal, Democrat or Independent.

God Save the Kinks, Again!

Another good addition would have been Sammy Hagar’s VOA, from his 1984 album of the same name.
