Are you ready, kids? Burt Bacharach's rockin' the boat and smashin' and dashin' the Prez!!!

[Zeroisanumber]

With Dr. Dre producing, I'm sure that it'll be a slick album. Hopefully it will be worthwhile, some of the best music ever made has been made by people who are pissed off about politics.

And no, I don't care what message Burt Bacharach is trying to send with this album. It's mostly irrelevant.

[slowhand520]

Hmmm. An artist writing a song that bashes the President. That is truly groundbreaking. Has it been done before? Unfortunately these scholarly "artists" have their politics dictated to them by MTV and Jon Stewart. A pop artist that writes a song that supports the president and this country would truly be ground breaking

[bengalsrule]

These people ceased being interesting a couple of years ago. Now they are just a bunch of losers.

[Revolting cat!]

Who's Dr Dre (his real name, I'm sure!)? Another [c]rapper? Burtie killed his own career in or around 1968 with a Broadway flop, a breakup with both Hal David and Dionne, and he hasn't been back since and won't be back...

[F.J. Mitchell]

To hell with Burt!!! This is one more perfect example that the words "older" and "wiser" are not always in harmony.

I just hope that Angie isn't in sync with him on this one-now that would be tramatic.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sounds to me like one too many raindrops fell on this moron's head. Burt. Americans aren't impressed. Now you know how we felt when your butt buddy Clinton and his wife were running the country.

[SandRat]

Time for me to BURN all the Burt Bacharach vinyls and cassette tapes in the house, shed, garage.

[GVnana]

Burt Bacharach is concerned about his kids? Somehow, I just don't see this.

[Tribune7]

A man from Mexico came north looking for work. He went to a landscaper but the landscaper wasn't hiring. He went to a cafe but the cafe wasn't hiring. Then, we went to a woodworking shop.

The owner looked him over carefully. Then he looked him over again.

Then he asked " Do you know the way to sand, Jose?"

[Hilltop]

77 and can't form a good stool, but yet he has an opinion?

His opinion and music sucks.

That's his legacy, music sucked, opinions sucked.

Hey Burt, schlep some tunes on cable and leave politics to younger Hollyweird asshats.

[tongue-tied]

This is somewhat depressing. I used to have to learn his songs in band (trombone, 1970's....I think I could still play a acale) and now he's a butthead?! That is just crap, on so many levels. I can see Dylan, maybe even the 'Stones making a "protest" song....but Burt Bacharach??? Unless his style has drastically changed, it'll be like SEVERE elevator music.

Like punk underwater...like rap with a high pitched voice and a lisp...maybe country screamed at you in deep bass with a severe beat...what am I missing here?

[Revolting cat!]

The only interesting thing about Burt now is the question: did he or did he not bonk Marlene Dietrich when he was her accompanist in his twenties and she in her sixties (or higher)?

[Boazo]

[syriacus]

The wrong song, for the wrong time

Burt (who's "more passionate than ever")
Thought the tunes he had written were clever.
Thought he'd strike up the band
And enlighten our land
But forgot voters push their own lever.

[weegee]

I'm still waiting for the album that denounces Islamonazism. The beheading of kidnapped civilians, the raping and murder of 400+ school children, the deliberate act of crashing 2 planes full throttle into buildings with thousands of people, the use of teenage suicide bombers to kill people in marketplaces, etc.

Every muslim is not an Islamonazi or supporter of such horrors but muslims are at war with Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and Jews around the world. It is NOT the religion of peace. There is no conspiracy to keep the Imam down.

[kb2614]

What would my life be without celebrities!! I shudder to think of it!! How would I think?? Would I even be able to tie my shoes or speak in complete sentences??

sarcasm off

[Wilhelm Tell]

Bullets keep fallin' in the 'hood,
But me 'an my crack ho's got it good,
Sellin' crystal meth...

Simple answer: dementia

T'is more than just-a...

Raindrops that keep-a...

Fallin' on his Head,

...perhaps...?

[Major Matt Mason]

So, Burt will be slumming it in the minor leagues of music with Dr. Dre. Maybe he should go for the exacta and hook up with a crappy, noise-metal band like System of a Down, in a kind of salute to the horrid state of American popular music. The kids are alright, indeed.
