The New Generation of Revolt

I thought Professors Swaim & Yarrison would appreciate this one. NPR's song of the day a while back was "Less Polite" by this guy Will Kimbrough. He said he was trying to resurrect Bob Dylan with the sound but addressing some current issues. A sample of the lyrics:

I'm trying to be less polite
I'm saying what I really feel
The President's a fool I don't want to get up early and I think I need a good stiff drink

I'm trying to be less polite
I'm fed up with the Christian wrong
Let the people marry
Tell me why you are so worried
Let me sing it to you in this song

Here's a link to the song (hope I get this right)
