Steamroller Election
When James Taylor wrote Steamroller Blues in 1970, I’m sure he didn’t have any idea he was describing a future presidential candidate. Here is what he had to say about that future candidate.
He’s a steamroller.
He’s a napalm bomb.
He’s a churning urn of burning junk.
He’s a demolition derby.
He’s a hefty hunk of steaming bunk.
Two words were changed for clarity, the rest was all Taylor’s prescience.
