I'm a huge Prine fan so I love that song, though I think it would have been more timely a few years back. Paradise and Late John Garfield Blues are a couple of my favorites.

Heh. I've been singing that one lately albeit with this change. The neighbor put up a "Hate has no Home here" sign. I guess it lives in every other house on the block? This will get a red censored. Sorry. But they say these words on TV now.

But your virtue sign won't get you into heaven any more
It's already over crowded, with real saints galore
And Jesus don't like bull -CENSORED-
No matter what the reason's for
And your virtue sign won't get you into heaven anymore

I think Prine would agree that it takes more than a decal or sign to get to heaven. A little dedication and hard work might be involved. Here's the rest of my parody.

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A lawn sign, with a rainbow hue
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran back home
Stuck it in my flower bed
And if I could see the Asbury Park Boss
I'd tell him to drop dead

But your virtue sign won't get you into heaven any more
It's already over crowded, with real saints galore
And Jesus don't like bull -CENSORED-
No matter what the reason's for
And your virtue sign won't get you into heaven anymore

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them signs for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them signs all over my lawn
And one on my wife's forehead.

But your virtue sign won't get you into heaven any more
It's already over crowded, with real saints galore
And Jesus don't like bull -CENSORED-
No matter what the reason's for
And your virtue sign won't get you into heaven anymore


Well, I got my front yard so filled
With signs I couldn't see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

But your virtue sign won't get you into heaven any more
It's already over crowded, with real saints galore
And Jesus don't like bull -CENSORED-
No matter what the reason's for
And your virtue sign won't get you into heaven anymore

You know how Skynyrd felt about it? Neil stopped performing it. I wouldn't.

We play quite a few of Prine's songs, including Sam Stone. We considered Johnny Cash's revision but stick with the original. Prine's meaning was well intentioned.

One of the greats. I'm hoping he's still enjoying that extra long smoke break.  :beer

Southern Man followed by Sweet Home Alabama to close out the set...

Depends. Seems to me, a whole lot of people who have condemned war, especially Viet Nam, are suddenly gung ho for the new war in Europe. Anyway, to do that song, to my way of thinking, would have to include a denunciation of the sudden support for this year's wag the dog. Your Ukrainian flag won't get you into heaven anymore?
