For this Libertarian Rock Spotify playlist, I have two words: Knight. Rider.
(For sensitive listeners, this playlist does have some naughty words and titles.)

During the Christmas season, we are bombarded with Christmas music constantly. But haven’t you ever sat down and pondered how you could apply Mises to “Merry Christmas”?
Is Santa a libertarian? It depends on the song. Check out my latest Spotify playlist to find out. Lots of Christmas tunes plus the all season Libertarian-fermented rock.
| O Holy Night | Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother; And in His name all oppression shall cease. | |
| Hark the Herald Angels Sing | Peace on earth and mercy mild | |
| You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch | There are many Grinches going around this year imposing lockdowns and hobbling the Christmases of many | |
| The Kinks | Father Christmas | A story of a man participating in peaceful commerce, when someone comes and demands his money by force. Hmmm, we’ve seen this movie before. |
| O Come, O Come Emmanuel | Ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here | |
| Santa Claus is Coming to Town | “He sees when you are sleeping, He knows when you’re awake, He knows if you been good or bad, So be good for goodness sake” – Is this not a description of the nanny surveillance state? Santa is apparently some NSA program Snowden has yet to uncover. Super-creepy. | |
| Elvis Presley | Blue Christmas | “You’ll be doing alright in your Christmas of white, but I’ll have a blue Christmas.” It is obviously unjust that one should have a white Christmas while someone else has a blue Christmas. Therefore, the state needs to step in and give everyone a blue Christmas. |
| The Ramones | Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight) | Christmas is a great time to adopt the non-aggression principle. |
| The Beach Boys | Little Saint Nick | Up at the north pole, there are no government roads or speed limits. Santa is able to go “haulin’ through the snow at a frightening speed.” He accepts the risks and reaps the benefits. Santa basically lives in a state of libertarian anarchy. |
| Weird Al | Christmas at Ground Zero | We need a more peaceful foreign policy so this doesn’t happen. |
| John Lennon | Happy Xmas (War Is Over) | War is over over if you want it |
| Spinal Tap | Christmas With the Devil | “The angels are in chains” – don’t let the evils of statism take over your holiday. |
The Christmas Truce
In the spirit of giving, place accept this free download of my song, The Christmas Truce. If you don’t know the story, it’s an amazing true tale that happened during World War 1, involving enemy armies celebrating together.
I wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas season, or whatever other holiday you’d like to celebrate!
At long last, my new song Shirley, You Must Be Joking is here! Don’t be conservative on the listens.
I am pleased to announce that my brand new song, Enlighten Me, is now available universe-wide anywhere you listen to or purchase digital music (emphasis on the purchase)!
I’d love to hear what you think!
If one new song is not enough for you, give a listen to October’s Libertarian Rock playlist (which happens to include Enlighten Me)!

Isn’t this generally the folly of government programs? If one miscalculation doesn’t work, the solution is to add more and more miscalculations on top of it. “One more time around might do it.” |
