Blf Rose, said he finds lots of

His songs seem to be childlike
In simplicity of rhythm and lyrics
while they snapwith cynicism and
truth without going too far, with¬
out becoming pessimistic.
One song Steele wrote with the
Inspiration of an Oakland Tribune
editorial on the Daughters of Ihe
American Revolution ls a pointed
song about conservatives. The
chorus, to the tune of Yankee

•We are true conservatives,

Steele said the editorial sup¬

were only trying to bring America
back to the values of Ihe founding
fathers and this upset him a
little.

revolutionaries, not conserva¬

behind her.
