We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
I did not know it. I think that this is because I went out of popular culture in 1975 after college graduation and went deeply into reading CS Lewis (my teacher), lots and lots of psychology/social work/criminology/neurology (suddenly my fields), and trying to understand what Lutherans were about (my new denomination). I did catch some of the new Jesus people music coming up, including the surprising Dylan addition. I loved the whole "Slow Train Coming" album, for example, and the Noel Paul Stookey stuff. But not this.
I am impressed that those secular rockers picked up on this, because I missed it. They got it right.
At a quick listen, it's nothing, even irritating. If you give it time and follow along with the lyrics it is very good.
