Not the usual kind of thing people look for on a folk music Website like Mudcat. Here are the links: Wikipedia says Green on Red was an American punk / psychedelic / country rock / desert rock band active 1979–1992; 2005–2006. My son has a band that was punk (now it's techno-dance) - but I couldn't understand his punk lyrics, either; except that I know that he said "fuck" a lot. Oh, Green on Red has an interesting Website: http://www.greenonred.net/ -Joe- |

Both of my sons have written very intelligent lyrics, but people just dance to the music of my older son and don't buy the recordings of the younger one. Lyrics from The Clash were particularly interesting. -Joe- |

He sounded a bit like James McMurtry. He subsequently had numerous solo albums, but I haven't heard any of them. Brother Aldo --Stewie. |
