 McPherson's Left Wing Politics
No,but he is very left-liberal in his politics, His latest,"The Wild Blue" was nothing more than a plagerism filled hagiography of George McGovern.Most of the 15 th Air Force B 24 crews were offended by the hero worship of an oxygen thief.

In our information-overloaded, media-rich Western states at the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is difficult to imagine the mindset of folk musicians of the nineteenth and earlier centuries when rights of free speech were tenuous, and the dissemination of information less bountiful.
