Some of the more avid history fans might be thinking, “Casey Jones saved several lives, why is he being portrayed as a scab?”
The intro that Utah gives for this song doesn’t explain it enough in my opinion. It’s a fictitious and comedy song that uses the name recognition of Casey, simply because there weren’t really any well known railroad scabs and Joe Hill was basing this song on the Ballad of Casey Jones in honor of a rail strike.
Welcome music lovers! Our community is meant to be the place to go for music that has a leftist message. As we all know, the communists have the music, so we might as well share it! We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus.
