This is a copy and past from www.myspace.com/benfolds
presumably it's from a real interview:
The first track the trio recorded was "Bastard," which is a driving examination of the growing ranks of young conservatives that features vocals recorded on election night. "Winston Churchill said people who are old and liberal have no brain and people who are young and conservative have no heart. I wanted to say something about the jadedness of kids who think that it's all been done and they've seen everything by the time they're 18. You're not supposed to be like that when you're a kid. You have to let yourself be idealistic for at least a couple of minutes. There's a kind of person who gets more open-minded with age too. In this song, the old bastard is actually a teenager."
college-aged conservatives is a wierd group to pick on considering we're a definite minority on any campus, but...whatever
