First They Came

First they came for the blues
and I did not speak out
because I was not blue.
Then they came for the classic rock
and I did not speak out
because I was neither classic nor a rock.
Then they came for the country
and I did not speak out
because I was not a country.
Then they came for the folk,
and I said, "enough with the coming."

Hi OneEar,
Is this an aphoristic assessment of your musical career?

yes, and a history of my oppression by the Nazi.
