Oh, this is nifty.

I’ve ranted in this space before about how so many people forgot about Rodney Crowell after Diamonds & Dirt…

…but it deserves to be mentioned that he did some good stuff before that album, too. He recorded great versions of some of the songs he made his name with as a songwriter, including “Leavin’ Louisiana in the Broad Daylight” and “Stars on the Water.”

And then there was this, which I never knew existed before yesterday…

…which was originally recorded by Crowell’s fellow Texan Moon Mullican some years earlier.

…wait, what?

So, an anti-gun group, who ostensibly espouses peace and nonviolence…

…uses a sign that evokes the Rising Sun flag used by the Japanese military in World War II. Oh, the irony!
