Brilliant. Thank you for standing up to the NRA. We all need to do the same. VOTE BLUE.

It is just so brilliant that Don wears all these "disguises" so he can create a coral group. But, what really gets me is that he does all the harmonies himself, too.

Beautiful, poignant, and so tragically true. You have more talent, wisdom, and insight than so many others.

I don’t know how I missed this Parody Project masterpiece. I absolutely love this Cohen classic and your new lyrics do a great service to this piece of music. Thanks for all you do for the resistance!

This song has always had a special place in my heart. This performance moved me to tears, the tragedy of the words wrapped in the beautiful sadness of the music. Peace

Thanks for the many laughs and great vocals and lyrics. The lyrics are as applicable today as when you recorded this.

Damn fellas! I'm impressed. Every single track is spot on perfect. The lyrics are fresh, poetically brilliant and musically you're dead in the pocket. Excellent! Thank you. 🙏

Wow, what a range you have. Soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass. I'm really impressed with your abilities

Wow!! You've done it again!! You've hit the nail of truth squarely on the head!! Thank you for the truth and humor, it's exactly what we need right now.

Marvelous! I particularly love the line, "You've become the thing you fear," although I think that may be giving LaPierre too much credit. I'm not sure he fears anything but loss of money, nor that he loves anything but money.

Oh my!!! Leonard would be pleased. You are so good at choosing the right tune for the message. I very much appreciate it when thought, time, effort, and undeniable talent come together in such an edgy message. You truly have a gift. 🖤🇨🇦

Ikallicrates the power to kill does not come from guns. The power comes from within us all. Each of us has the power, even if you don’t want it, or want to believe it. You think you would not or could not, but if someone had your spouse, or child, or anyone you cared about in a situation where they could die, you would do whatever you could to stop it. Or would you stand and watch them die, and wait for your turn? Police can’t help in that kind of situation, only instant response could. In 2016 there were more people killed in violent attacks by people using baseball bats than all types of rifles combined. That same year, there were more people killed in violent attacks by people using hammers than by all types of rifles combined. It’s not guns, it’s people. What you don’t hear, is how many people were saved by people using firearms to stop someone from killing. Or how many criminals were held by armed civilians until the police could get there. Do some research. Don’t let anyone dictate your beliefs. Don’t let emotions keep you from the truth. Guns don’t do anything but what the person holding it wants it to do, just like any other tool. There are very good reasons why the authors of our Constitution made this right 2nd only to freedom of speech. Great vocals, guys! I’ve always enjoyed a cappella, and you all do it very well.

I gess the trade war, which no one but Trump wants) is on.

Wayne is a wimp hiding behind a gun. Every time there is a massacre, he runs and hides like a cowardly little lamb.

This was so profound, chills up my spine and tears in my eyes.

I collected his poetry books before he decided that music added a dimension he really wanted, and man was he ever right about the visceral addition lyrics and music can bring. Sometimes a parody eclipses the original...but its all part of the Folk Process at work. Real music is emotional...and always carries some kind of political message in a pleasant package. The onus is on us to really listen.🖤🇨🇦
