Going Down to Sing in Texas - Iris Dement at Wolf Festival, Laytonville, CA - June 23, 2022

[@MsChordially]

So pleased to know that Iris will be releasing a new CD February 2023. Also pleased to hear and see her light shine over and over again.

[@doogalloonni]

She brings a smile to my heart, and a melancholic tear to this old man's eyes. God love you Iris- I know I always will...

[@bobbiwilkins5485]

Iris Dement, You give me hope!

[@peterbudd7118]

Thankyou for posting. It's such a powerful song. I've needed to listen to again lately.

[@jamesmonahanmusic]

Very wonderful song.😊

[@ChristianKuitert]

Really one of the coolest songs I know. Hope it will be on Spotify again soon! Greetings from The Netherlands

[@VinceCourtneysLover]

Spotify is poison. Listen to her interview!

[@dianesalvato9699]

Thanks for posting. We saw her this weekend at the Nowhere Else Festival in Ohio. Great song. Hopefully she records this with all verses on an album.

[@sand3882]

Your "voice" affects me in a powerful way that inspires and comforts at the same time.

[@colinwintzloff8891]

you are the best IRIS love you girl

[@jmlproducer]

Amen sista 🙏

[@rabokarabekian409]

Woody is singin' with her. Side note; in the U$A right now, somebody dies by a gun about every 11 minutes. What well-regulated militia are they in?

[@74Eldo]

Iris, wow. ❤

[@michaelreese605]

I am glad she loves the Squad. I think she should go to Chicago... she would be safer there.

[@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961]

haha

[@alphonsotate2982]

The Squad are FOOLS

[@kentom1]

She is my hero!

[@Tedwardy]

Anyone know why I can’t listen to this anywhere else? Spotify, KZbin, Instagram?

This is such an important song. Iris is God

[@MicheleBartonThomas]

You are so lost.

[@rabokarabekian409]

@@MicheleBartonThomas THE HOLEY BABBLE SUMMARY OF GOD’S LOVING PLAN: Make deals knowing people will break them. Later destroy all but a chosen few. Repeat several times. Impregnate your future mother (Father, Son, Holy Ghost three in one). Get tortured and die to wipe out all sins, except of people not chosen to choose the free gift of faith. Come back on a horse and kill all the wicked with a sword. Then destroy and re-create everything. Send the unchosen many into Hell’s eternally burning darkness. Make the few chosen into pillars in the temple, which is the LORD, of the New Jerusalem made of precious metals and stones, and which comes down OUT of heaven. The End. This is what believers rely upon? Yep, sounds divinely loving, huh?

How are you doing today! I hope it been a beautiful day today?

[@nateb335]

Iris knows what's happening

[@youngeagle5953]

for some reason she did not sing these lines, "We ought not be condoning, bulldozing Palestinian homes It's an open-air prison there, A U.S. sanctioned, dead zone I have a wealth of compassion for Jewish people and their plight But I've not forgotten two wrongs don't make a right And we ought not be condoning, bulldozing Palestinian homes"

[@briantranter4317]

Very interesting mate .Takes the shine off her .

[@julesds2516]

probably because she understood that palestine people shit on human rights every single day. girls have no rights, little girls get married to grown men, gay people get stoned and so on. this is not a government problem. the people are backwards and crazy.

[@calumproctor981]

Not on the album either. I came here to see if it was in the live version.

[@dwaynehipp9200]

lol brave women in the swamp?

[@janhart1592]

The Squad

[@tariqshihadah]

She removed the verse about Palestine....that kinda stings.

[@youngeagle5953]

yes she did for some reason. "We ought not be condoning, bulldozing Palestinian homes It's an open-air prison there, A U.S. sanctioned, dead zone I have a wealth of compassion for Jewish people and their plight But I've not forgotten two wrongs don't make a right And we ought not be condoning, bulldozing Palestinian homes"

[@mariepresho3653]

I noticed that

[@avalon5821]

she did keep the palestine part of i believe the following song so i imagine she didnt change her mind or anything

[@dwaynehipp9200]

go and play in california where you will be very safe maby the members of the squad will come see you

[@djpazzy]

You want her to go to Georgia or Florida instead?

[@barton6565]

She should do a concert in Turkey in support for those poor people who didn’t have guns in Israel. I’m sure she would be welcomed by the Muslins. 😮

[@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961]

not with that dress on for sure

[@seandowling8697]

All the bible thumpers in the comments who forget who jesus was🤣

[@mcooper7743]

If she can't sing in Texas because people have rights then she should certainly stay out of Oklahoma.

[@markb6295]

Did she hurt your feel-feels?

[@mcooper7743]

@@markb6295 she did, you want to kiss them and make them better?

She's gonna sing in Texas. Did. You. Not listen?

[@dave4708]

Really Like Iris Dement , but this song misses the mark by a country mile.

[@edwardgordon4309]

Over 60 million babies have been killed with participation from their mothers in this country and her trigger is the abandment of the second ammendment. Unto the least of these... what you do for them, you also do unto me.

[@TheGrasspond]

Cut me a break. Iris would pass laws so that only criminals would carry a gun. Its probably the safest place she has ever played. And, by the way, how does someone go from pretty to looking like a little old lady within a 5 year time frame.

[@dwaynehipp9200]

well get out of the states where anybody can carry a gun dont play here and dont collect any money from here

[@darrelljohnson5764]

Love hearing her voice , singing . Like so many others , she can’t leave her political views at home . It’s a Shame .

[@paulsmart728]

Hey Iris, save your preaching for another venue.

[@jedmln]

What venue would you recommend?

[@MicheleBartonThomas]

@@jedmln The Bean in Chicago. Where mobs of people can surround her, push her around and to the ground while the police stand there and do nothing. Just like what happened to innocent people there a few weeks ago.

[@craigrhollister]

I love your voice and passion. But cant take the politics. Why ruin it? A total shame.

[@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961]

She is scared woman that makes catchy tunes

[@samueldavis2327]

I love Iris DeMents music, but why are artists so often weak and liberal minded. Hell, I wouldn’t care if everybody in the room had a gun. Unfortunately, I can’t sing.

[@josephreimer7954]

Ok so I’m done with her now

[@alphonsotate2982]

So sad she got political

[@SpencerStaunton]

if you don't like don't listen,I am sure the great majority agree with her sentiments , trouble is the powerful minority rule in the supposed democracy

[@walksthesehills]

I love Iris Dement. But that dress is dreadful.

[@rabokarabekian409]

that's the important part, right?
