Folk and Punk are wonderful friends at the party. Had they been alive at the same time, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash and the Clash would have started a super-group. The plight and suffering of the common man has always needed someone to represent them, someone to “be their voice.” That’s one of the reasons why Jesus is popular. He understood the oppressive nature of religion in His day and he was trying to get people to free themselves of a legalism that was without compassion and religious rules without heart; he wanted people free to enjoy and be loved of God. He wanted the rich to realize how enslaved their souls were to the idols of power and wealth.
