Stuck Mojo guitarist and songwriter, Rich "The Duke" Ward, will be
appearing on the Fox Radio Network (FNC) at approximately 7:10 EST,
Tuesday, December 19th on John Gibson's "The Big Story" to discuss the song/video
"Open Season" from the new Stuck Mojo album "Southern Born Killers."

With "Open Season," Stuck Mojo has taken a stand against the current,
global jihad being waged by violent, Islamic extremists. This war is not
only against America or Western Civilization, but against anyone who does
not agree with their interpretation of their religion. The message of the song
is perfectly clear - jihadists in America will not be tolerated.
The video for "Open Season" caused a stir among fans when it was apparently
blocked, without notification, from appearing in the "Most Viewed" listings
on YouTube despite its view count warranting a spot on the list. This censorship
continues (as of 12/18/2006) as witnessed by the fact that the video was viewed
over 6,000 times during the day but still does not appear in the top 100 "Most Viewed"
chart. (#100 has 1,200 views for reference.) You can view the video at YouTube here:

In a bold move, Stuck Mojo released the entire "Southern Born Killers" album, absolutely
free for download last week via their web site at:
The response has been overwhelming both in terms of sheer number of tracks downloaded
as well as people purchasing a hard-copy of the album directly from the band to show their
support. The limited edition CD is numbered and signed by the band and it includes a bonus
DVD with the "Open Season" video, a feature on the making of the video, an interview and more.
At the web site above, Rich Ward also explains the rationale behind making the CD available
freely for download.
Naturally, the strong message of "Open Season" initially prompted some people to immediately
dismiss is as being anti-Muslim which it is certainly not. It is anti-jihadist. Period.

Lastly, you can find a message directly from Rich Ward explaining the message behind
"Open Season" and why it had to be written at this location:
Saw this morning on LGF. Killer video. Another link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymLJz3N8ayI&eurl=
My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season
Great video

"Southern Born Killers" by Stuck Mojo - Lyrics
I'm American
Music: Ward
Lyrics: Nelson, Ward
I'm an American related to all colors of brethren, Priests and Pastors and Profits and Reverends, Divided we fall united we stand together man, In this cultural melting pot there's nothing better than, This land of the free and the home of the brave, Populated by ancestors of immigrants and slaves who met early graves So we could see brighter days and we could proudly praise and raise the stars and stripes as Americans
Hate me
Blame me
You can't shame me
Come and stand with me
I'm American
I'm an American born in these states united, Where racial discrimination keeps us so divided, But we've got free speech so I won't be quiet, We got a lot of problems here man I won't deny it, But ain't another place that I'd rather be, Than in this land of great opportunity, Where we can be anything that we wanna be, So until the day I D-I-E, I stand tall as an American
Great attitude. Would be nice if they got a big label and hit and the yutes of today took heed. Perchance, to dream...

WAS
GOOD!!!!!!
Stuck Mojo is up for anti-idiotarians of the year award! Go forth and vote and then get it to any ping lists you have!
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=23806_Anti-Idiotarian_of_the_Year_2006_Voting_Open&only
I think there are people more worthy of a vote on that list. One song doesn't make you anti-idiotarian of the year. It seems the voting is going mostly for Bolton or Steyn although Wafa Sultan or Hirsi Ali are more influential since they came from Islamic upbringing. I voted for Wafa Sultan.
Yeah, it's obvious that others are more worthy of the notice but I just thought it was a great chance to give some recognition for a daring and career risking move on the part of Rich and the guys. One of the others will win and I will be pleased for them but some votes thrown to SM would be some vindication for a group that's shut out because they won't toe the liberal industry line.
