look i know it's a couple weeks late and a couple bucks short of an opinion but here it is: if you are going to make fun of the downfall of others for their own hubris (IE: the whole sub debacle) you have to go as hard as Pete Seeger did against Casey Jones (The Union Scab). my favorite verse is the one about him scabbing up in the afterlife:

When Casey got to Heaven, way up to that Pearly Gate
He said: "I'm Casey Jones, the guy that pulled the S.P. freight."
"You're just the man," said Peter, "our musicians are on strike;"
You can get a job a-scabbin' any time you like."
Casey Jones got a job in Heaven
Casey Jones was doin' mighty fine
Casey Jones went scabbin' on the angels
Just like he did to workers on the S.P. Line

anyways i don't actually have a profound point or anything besides "we should listen to more Pete Seeger in these unionizin' times"
