If you're confused and need direction this political season, hold tight, because you can be sure that a rock star will be along shortly to show you the way.
Musicians, some loosely defined, are mobilizing big-time this year to oust Bush. A CD, titled "Rock Against Bush, Vol. I," was released earlier this year, purportedly to raise money for organizations which encourage young people to vote. Bands such as Sum 41, Offspring, New Found Glory and Jello Biafra with D.O.A. are included on the compact disc – I believe the latter is also included on the dessert menu.

Volume II will be released somewhere in the middle of Bush's second term.
I notice the distinct lack of a "Rock For Kerry".
Why in the world are we suddenly excerpting WorldNetDaily?
Jello Biafra?
From the band 'The Dead Kennedys'. Also was on a joint project with Alain Jourgensen of Ministry fame in a band called 'Lard'.
Oddly enough, the Dead Kennedys had a song called 'Holiday in Cambodia' ( ironic reference to Kerry's 'Christmas in Cambodia' ).
quidnunc wannabes
Of all FReepers to imitate, he has to pick that one?
I am glad I downloaded all the songs I like from these artists off Gnutella instead of purchasing their CD's. Now that I know they hate Bush, I'll probably delete the things, no, I won't do that, I'll just quit listening and still distribute them for free. I'll get perfect 320kbs MP3's and send 'em loose on the file-sharing networks...;-)
LOL! Sum 41 is from Cana-DUH!!!
The offspring is one of the worst bands I've ever heard in my life.
I will hand it to the anti war bands of the 60s-- they were infinitely more talented than ANY of these groups today.
It's funny... The Offspring's other big hit refers to the stupidity of the Juvenile Justice system with the line
"If your under 18 you won't be doin' any time"
They used to swear they would stay on a small independent label forever too.
Thanks so much Jacob. Doug Powers is one of my favorite writers. Makes Monday mornings so enjoyable. He's so funny.......kind of a twist on politics through humor. We need more of this.
Dave Matthews Band Blamed For Human Waste
Aug 24, 2004 6:01 pm US/Central
CHICAGO (CBS 2) Rock star Dave Matthews and his tour bus driver are facing a filthy lawsuit.
The Illinois Attorney General's office says they're responsible for dumping up to 100-gallons of raw human waste from a tour bus onto the Kinzie Street Bridge earlier this month.
The nasty mess rained down on passengers aboard a sightseeing boat two weeks ago.
The suit charges both the band and the bus driver with violating state water pollution laws, as well as common law public nuisance laws.
A spokesman for the band says all of its tour buses were parked at the time of the incident.

RE: "Offspring" What a complete disappointment. As they are from the OC I would have hoped that the relative level of political sanity there (Vs. points further north) would have rubbed off. Oh well, add another band to the idiot list....
That would really, really suck.
