I wrote the music for this song, Ronnie wrote the vocals. I could never sing anything like:

I have an ancestor who was a chief on the Cherokee Trail of Tears. Because of the fate of so many of his family at the hands of the Nazis, Ronnie has strong feelings about the genocides suffered by Native Americans and slaves.

Check out Ronnie’s way with lyrics:
“Devil headed people came over on a boat
They had a disease that made ‘em want to choke
The life out of everything beautiful, wild and free,
Inside those pilgrim eyes were highways of concrete.”

“Don’t it make you wish poor Bob had possession over Judgment Day” is a nod to his obsession at the time with all things Robert Johnson.

But what I want to know is how did a first generation American immigrant kid become such a total redneck (as proven by this drawly bluesy rasp of a vocal that sounds like it was lifted off a 78)?
