Jeez, Ron Paul Republicans had to be told who Jimmy V. was? I hope they can remember after hearing down with big brother. Great song. I sat down on big brother...but he still shot a taser in mee....dat da da. dat da dat da dat da daaahhh... Wonder if JV wrote it? Better than anything the OWS has come up with that is for dam sure.
Big brother can lick my heavily armed boots... You go Jimmy! Though in all fairness while we need a libertarian revolution... I think we may be past the point of no return or close to...eventually you stop looking like a republic about to fall and have to realize that it's simply time to start over or continue the socio-economic slide to 3rd world cesspool...it may not be too late if people wake up grow a pair and put government back in it's place...we waste enough money on the war on drugs and
@BeatBay It's not about Republican vs Democrat! Stevie would've endorsed this song 110%. I would've love to see both of them be able to play this song.
Stevie was no republican and that's great!! But as a guitarist Jimmy got his thing going too.. different approach, different style.. Like his traditional way of playing!!

Artist should not be "Above" politics .. Artist should be proud and loud of how they are and what they feel. Guess what.. He's not a racist either .. Liberals please stop lying to yourself .. So you can be right and hear each others views . Deal?
@OLDSKOOL60813 The Truth is nothing but a lie somebody in power tells you. ; )
It used to be "true" that the world was flat. Who said that was true? The church, which had tremendous power.
It used to be "true" that women were incapable of doing anything but raising children and cleaning the house. Who said that was true? Men, who were ruling the world.
The Truth is out there... but it's not what somebody else tells you.
The national id is about control and nothing but, the goverment have been lying and controlling for years just research the Gulf of Tonkin it was a complete fabrication just one of many.
Remember a patriot is a man who fights for the constitution and nothing else, do not let the goverment piss allover it with thier shadow laws that nobody hears about. Wakey wakey
@politicsstuff: The video linked to in the description ACTUALLY shows " an isider's account of what life is like with a National I.D. system in place," in a country where the predominant religion (islam) forces its religious views on all other groups. Surely with America's history of religious tolerance there is no danger attached to having an ID card in the USA?
Yes indeed a nice guitar strap.. I'm very lucky to play with his old bass player...... he's living in Holland now but he talks about the his days with Jimmy quit often... way back there were about 350 bars in Dallas with 5 night live music.. how is this nowaday?greetings André
I went to a Campaign for Liberty Rally for the Republic this weekend, on Friday and Saturday. I saw Tom Woods, Tom Dilorenzo, Lew Rockwell, and even Ron Paul. They played this song there. I am so glad there is actually an educated Libertarian musician. And TexasBlues, many Libertarians are hippies, considering they do not believe in government intervention and believe drugs are their business not the governments.
I love Jimmie Vaughan, but man, I can't believe he's a Republican. It just doesn't fit. Especially when you go to his concerts and all you see are stoned hippies. Then again, Jimmie Vaughan seems to play just about any event.
Stoned hippies have nothing to do with political leanings, it's a lifestyle. You'd be amazed at the apparent straight laced, corporate people who smoke pot. :)
"I can't believe he's a Republican, It just doesn't fit."
Congratulations, you've been successfully brainwashed by what the liberal left want's you to think. What are you going to believe anyway? Your lying eye of ABCNBCCBSCNN?
To AbuGrabIt - let's find some common ground in our love for Jimmy Vaughn and personal freedom. Those with all the money and power pit the common people against each other - that takes the heat off them. They have no ideology but greed.
If freedom comes from within, there must be freedom from outside opression too. Politics will always be there, we live in a political society, we are zoon politikon. Down with Big Brother.
Freedom is important, but it isn't free. There is no freedom without security. The National ID is designed to thwart forgeries, and illegal immigration. The sooner it's implemented the better, and the safer we'll all be.
davebeal65 is an obvious shill faker. There is no security without freedom and those who would give up their freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security.
I'm a liberal and I love Jimmie Vaughn and I love my freedom. At least Ron Paul has scruples and character. You've taken somebody's bait if you think the danger to our freedoms come from the left. We lost more in the way of freedom under George W. than under any liberal would allow. He spied on us, he lied to us, and he broke laws, all to benefit the rich and powerful. People, don't do the dirty work of the rich and powerful under the guise of saving your freedoms.
Steve, so what's changed under Obama? We are still spied on, we are lied to even more and there's less transparency than ever. "Closed-door" goes with "meeting" in the Obama administration. Now it appears the middle class will pay for health care for the poor and sweetheart deals for Nebraska, too. It's all about control.
I'm a Canadian, and I generally consider myself a left leaning one at that, but when it comes to this manner of individual freedom I am on board with Ron Paul, and on board with Jimmy.
I do desire very strongly, for the people of North America to again experience the liberty that was once seemingly as integral a part of America as the wide open land that made possible Its birth.
That whole experience was truly amazing. From the book signing, park speech and concert Monday night to the entire rally on Tuesday and party afterward. Jimmie Vaughan, Aimee Allen and Marc Scibilia are truly patriotic musicians that are doing such a great thing.
The line for the Jimmy Vaughan after the rally party was so long I didn't get in. So I was very grateful to be a part of this special surprise moment. The energy of the crowd all day was amazing. Thank you Jimmy.
are there any other blues players for Ron Paul? lets do a concert. support the cause of the constitution return to freedom.
