  • 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 from Seattle WaAbout the writer of this song from The Document Records Store "No excuses can be made for his racism, anti-Semitism, or downright nastiness. Over the course of his life he was an active member of the Klu Klux Klan, called for the lynching of Leo Frank through song, railed against Evolution, and enjoyed a (self-designated) reputation of being a moonshiner."
