Bill asked for songs against Bush.. Steve Earle's The Revoltion starts now a and the new Dan Bern cd might work. Dixie Chicks weren't too keen on him either. Anna Maria Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Tori Amos wrote "Sweet Dreams" about Bush Sr, but used it as a commentary on the son as well. R.E.M. is being nice and political right now, and you could probably consider nearly anything they're playing on their current tour as an indictment of Bush. They're performing "Welcome to the Occupation", "Cuyahoga", and "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" an awful lot. From their current album (which I'm rather enjoying), there's "I Wanted to Be Wrong" and "Final Straw" (another version of this song was available on MoveOn.org's "Future Soundtrack for America"). The rest of the "Future Soundtrack for America" is probably good for your post-election blues, especially Elliott Smith's "A Distorted Reality is a Necessity to be Free". Paul Kelly mostly comments on Australian politics, but you can find some comfortable crossover in "Little Kings". I'd also be comfortable in calling Mr Bush a "Gutless Wonder". /nm ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 13:11:46 -0800 (PST) From: cyo@landoftheblind.com Subject: Re: ecto-digest V10 #308, WITH AND ABOUT PEACE Dear Bill I am right there with you on the post election blues. I have three songs I have written since the war started, all on Peace. "An Eye for an Eye makes the Whole World Blind" was created shortly afterwards, using live fox news coverage at the start of the war and doing a looped song over that...AN EYE is on the Musicians and Artists for Peace album. Then I wrote "I wanna be an American", about our rights as we began to lose them...it's about free speech. It's on a compliation of Blind's. The third song, "A River", is brand new, it's about war, done Celtic style, and it will be on my new album coming out in March, EDGEWALKING BLIND...it's not fully mixed or mastered yet. But I'd be glad to make you a cdr of all three songs if you'd like. Just let me know and send me your address, privately. I am starting to give up "selling" my music, as it seems rather silly lately. You spend tons of money (my third, Ordinary Magic was around $20thousand, and you never make it back)...and for what...the occasional $15 at a show? A check from CD Baby for $30? It's almost more frustrating to try and survive in the world, as an artist, especially in a "fringe" genre's such as; "Tribal with folk message", "World-Trance without disco beat", "Sci-Fi Movie track sans corn, with dreamy vocals" and "Avant rock without anger"...tee hee...ya know? So it may be more freeing to me, to continue to create, to just give my gift away. So that's my new deal. Catch me while in this mode.

The election sparked the same sort of campaign, with an equivalent compilation entitled "Rock Against Howard". It included such gems as "Johnny Howard Is A Filthy Slut", while another title posed this very relevant and important question: "How'd You All Get To Be So Dumb?" If I only knew.... ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V10 #309 ***************************
