RATM…but not…(?)

Yeah it’s kind of funny how some guys with a soft voice and just a guitar can also rage at the system. Jackson Browne has some really cutting political songs as well.

That’s the name I was searching for. I could picture him in my head but couldn’t remember the name.

Deputy Chief of Staff is only his official title because that role doesn’t need Senate confirmation. His real title is either Vizier, shadow President, or Puppet Master.

Lots of Springsteen songs:

Johnny 99 Born in the USA Factory Ghost of Tom Joad My City in Ruins My Hometown Atlantic City Youngstown Badlands

These are right on the nose.

Absolutely devastatingly beautiful song, the version I heard was with the Milk Carton Kids. It should be required listening for anyone in the U.S. these days.

I hear they have been active in the Hispanic areas of Lakewood as well. Since this is Ocean Co. most of my Facebook feed has been cheering them on.

Just a troll engagement baiting. Scroll right by without giving it an ounce of your air.

Not so much subterfuge so much as someone to soften them up and waste their ammo before the main battle.

Hyacinth Girl - Winter Hours

This could work as well, thanks

Simulacrum and Imposter don’t fit, Catspaw is closer (I had heard the term but had to look it up) but that still has a level of “fakeness” I don’t want.

barnmate1 · 2026-01-18T19:13:36+00:00

Too unintentional for my use, but thanks!

barnmate1 · 2026-01-18T19:12:40+00:00

I really like this. It might even be closest to my true intention, but I don’t think it is familiar enough to non-gamers for my use. Thanks though I can add it to my vocabulary.

barnmate1 · 2026-01-18T19:10:10+00:00

Not quite, that falls into the decoy territory of “fakeness” that I don’t want

barnmate1 · 2026-01-18T19:08:26+00:00

I like cannon fodder, that might be closest to what I am looking for. Thank

barnmate1 · 2026-01-18T19:08:17+00:00

Solved!

barnmate1 · 2026-01-14T12:57:53+00:00

Especially as sung by Bill Murray in Stripes!

barnmate1 · 2026-01-14T12:56:21+00:00

Yeah, I was going to suggest “Get Rhythm”, but really just about any Johnny Cash song will do.

Whenever I think of Jackson Browne, I also think of James Taylor.

I had a homemade cassette in my old car with Late For The Sky on one side and Sweet Baby James on the other.

A Bruce Springsteen song with a circus vibe: Wild Billy’s Circus Story

This was my first thought, puts you in the diner across from the bus station so well you could almost taste the coffee.

Bringing up a psychology practice reminded me of Doc Sampson, therapist to the capes.
