But the Friedman song I like most, and the one most appropriate to this occasion, is Ride 'Em Jewboy.
Talk about haunting images! "Now the smokes from camps are rising, see the helpless creatures on their way" ... "dead limbs play with ringless fingers" ... "How long will you be driven relentless around the world" ... "rounded out and made to move along." You get the point.
There is a lot more energy in his 1970s' Austin City Limits performances, which are easily found on YouTube, but that slower 2020 performance at Echo Hill really suits this song.

I remember Kinky very well. My ex worked for his parents and brother( Roger I think)out at Echo Hill Ranch.
That's great! Texas really missed out when he lost the election.
Typical Friedman: he promised that 'if you elect me the first Jewish Governor of Texas I'll lower the speed limit to 54.95.'
That and his Ten Mexican Generals plan to control the border would have gotten my vote.
As he heard that honky hit the floor
Back in heaven ( Texas) for awhile.
James: I can only envy you!
Don't, I'm in the belly of the beast Austin Texas (Portland south), this is an epicenter of wokeness!
Well, we make allowances for college towns. For some reason they don't bother me as much, or anyway, I don't take them as seriously as they think I should.
All I have to say is Blue Bell ice cream!!!
Given where you work and what you do I'm sure you've mastered this, if not a short video:
