1. I like it

Too bad only folks like Jesse and a few random bands/artists are speaking out

3. Neil Young & Willie Nelson might speak out on the ICE killings

(I doubt if Bob Dylan will)

2. That's a brand spanking new one. Here's his last one on ICE:

"Join ICE"

Well, if you're lookin' for purpose in the current circus
If you're seekin' respect and attention
If you're in need of a gig that'll make you feel big
Come with me and put some folks in detention

Just last week was kind of tough, I put a kid in cuffs
I zip tied a lady to a van
We can sneak around town, hunt workin' folks down
I hear they got a great benefit plan

Join ICE, boy, ain't it nice?
Join ICE, take my advice
If you're lackin' control and authority
Come with me and hunt down minorities
Join ICE

Well, I failed the academy, the cops weren't havin' me
The Army didn't sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation
That was keen to hand me a gun

I got picked on at school, I never felt that cool
There's a hole in my soul that just a-rages
All the ladies turned me down, and I felt like a clown
But will you look at me now, I'm puttin' folks in cages

At ICE, we're respectin' power
Join ICE, I hear they got great hours
There's a sign-on bonus of 50 grand
They're in need of you, needin' to feel like a man
Join ICE

(Look at him go!)

Well, if you're lookin' for purpose in the current circus
If you're seekin' respect and attention
If you're in need of a gig that'll make you feel big
Come with me and put some folks in detention

See I failed the academy, the cops weren't havin' me
The Army didn't sound that fun
So I found me a paramilitary operation
That was keen to hand me a gun

Join ICE, boy, ain't it nice?
Join ICE, take my advice
If you're lackin' control and authority
Come with me and hunt down minorities
Join ICE

4. He's a great singer & songwriter

(Like Dylan used to be)

5. If you close your eyes, you hear Dylan

The two poets traveled many of the same roads.

6. We're so lucky to have Jesse Welles.

7. Wow!

I’ve seen his videos posted here but never watched them. That he was able to pull that together so eloquently and so quickly… incredible talent. His rhythm and cadence kind of reminds me of Phil Ochs, as well as a young Dylan.

8. Shades of John Fogerty, too

Pack a lunch if you chase down his playlist; he’s very prolific!
