Ben Harper’s latest CD personal and political (barf alert!)
AP ^ | May 25, 2006

As its title suggests, Ben Harper’s ambitious new release “Both Sides of the Gun” has a split personality.

Divided into two unlabeled nine-song discs (a special boxed edition contains a third CD of alternate takes and a live version of his 1999 “Burn to Shine” album track “Beloved One”), the set favors softer, acoustic-oriented and more personal songs on one program, harder-edged topical rockers on the other. It further separates the joy of his recent marriage to actress Laura Dern and his concern over current events like the war in Iraq and Hurricane Katrina.

I'm going to download as many copies of that CD as I can in the vain hope that it will somehow cost him sales revenue.

You are not missing much. Another loser.

From IMDB.com: "In fall of 2004 he participated in the Vote for Change concert tour organized to encourage the defeat of George W. Bush in the U.S. presidential election."

Cool - another unbiased, non partisan left wing activist releasing an open minded, non judgemental CD that condemns America.

I know I'm happy.
