The 2024 Presidential Election is rapidly approaching.
Democrats expect all their surrogates to stay on message.
But one country music legend released an album that’s sure to infuriate Joe Biden and the Left.
Country music superstar Willie Nelson is still cranking out albums just shy of his 91st birthday.
Even though Nelson is a liberal, his latest album could ruffle feathers on the list.
The Border, Nelson’s new release, touches on the immigration issue, which is currently harming Joe Biden’s administration.
Border problems are real
The lead single from the album, titled The Border, tells the tragic story of a U.S. border patrol agent in Texas.
The song opens with the lyrics:
I work on the border
I see what I see
I work on the border
And it’s working on me
I lie awake at night
Knowing what I know
There’s a price on the hit
Of every border patrol
Where the smugglers do business
That’s where I make a stand
I know this old desert
Like the back of my hand
Nelson’s rendition is a cover of Rodney Crowell’s 2019 song.
Crowell told Rolling Stone at the time, “We were writing the song to be sympathetic to the actual border guards, and I’m still sympathetic to them. They’re trying to do a job down there. It’s not their policy…I think if we were writing that song today it would be more about the atrocities. [But] I’m glad we wrote it when we did. To me it has a more epic quality now.”
The song is even more relevant now.
Cultural zeitgeist
Conservative Commentator Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire noted that it was peculiar Nelson would release this album now.
Knowles said of the song, “It’s great. This is a big deal, not so much because of what the song will do, as what the song represents. Willie Nelson is a big lib. Willie Nelson has supported the most left-wing candidates in the country for decades. He’s smoked more Haitian oregano than Snoop Dogg. But he’s a special kind of liberal. He’s a liberal who gets conservatives. He caters to pot smoking, country music listeners. He is what Woody Harrelson has called a redneck hippie.”
Knowles also said that Nelson’s song could be a warning to Biden to tackle the problem that he’s getting crushed on.
Polls show that Americans favor Donald Trump on immigration by nearly 30 points.
“This Redneck hippie thing represents an important constituency. There are a lot of redneck hippies in America. Everybody loves Willie Nelson. Most people like Woody Harrelson, too. They’re libs. They’re Hollywood stars. But unlike all the other Hollywood stars, they understand the rest of the country. They don’t hold the rest of the country in contempt. I don’t know what exactly motivated Willie Nelson to release a song in an election year praising U.S. Border Patrol. Maybe it’s a patriotic concern,” Knowles pondered about Nelson’s motives and outrage at what is happening across the southern border.
Knowles continued, “maybe it’s a liberal concern that Joe Biden, the candidate that Willie Nelson endorsed in 2020, is going to lose if he doesn’t address his biggest political liability.”
Whatever Nelson’s reasons for releasing the album, it’s undeniable that an unsecured southern border is causing major problems for America.
