Janet Reno CD in stores now

KENDALL, Fla., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- A three-CD album of historical songs from former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno debuted Tuesday.
"Song of America," a 50-tune "history book'" that Reno helped shepherd, is in stores now, the Miami Herald has reported.
Reno is listed as an executive producer on the collection, which starts in 1492 with "Lakota Dream Song" and spans 25 eras of U.S. history, concluding with "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning," a song about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Reno said it all began when she heard her niece's musician husband, Ed Pettersen, play two history-inspired songs he had written.
"I was sitting there doing some work,'" Reno recalled. "And then I found I was listening to him and this song -- I couldn't figure out what it was about. When he told me, it came alive.'"
Pettersen said Reno immediately started suggesting eras of U.S. history that should be documented through music.
Unable to find any other comprehensive history told through folk songs, Petterson and Reno set out to compile their own.
"It's the good, the bad and the ugly," Reno said. "To omit Dixie or the Streets of Philadelphia is to omit a part of what has made America."

Oh my eyes!
That is NASTY!
Excuse me while I flush my eyes with Liquid Draino...
Didn’t Will Ferrell host the Janet Reno Dance Party on Saturday Night Live?
“I shot the Weavers”
“These Boots are Made for Walking”?
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!
Dare I ping you.
.....anything from Erik Clapner?
I wouldn’t waste a single penny on the CD !
Or the cries of Elia Gonzales.
I thought Pete Seeger and the Stalin Groupies Commies Weavers had an album.

With Elian in Florida, Ms. Renos contemplating
Until she solves this Cuban thing
she must slow down on her dating
She has no time to socialize
her mind its occupying
Ten thousand people in the street she plans to be defying
A fire a fire perhaps shell start a fire
She had some practice years ago
in Waco its perfected
The story that the mainstream press has just recently detected
While Bill is waiting for the news, hell watch on television
Like Waco he will pull it off
the whole things his decision
A fire a fire perhaps shell start a fire
She read about Tiananmen
for this she needs no pollin
She says to Bill she just cant wait til the Bradley tanks are rollin
She swears they will remember her
she wont take any B.S.
Shes loading all the canisters with two initials, C.S.
A fire
a fire
perhaps shell start a fire
A fire
a fire
she will start a fire
I had just figured it was gonna be 50 Melissa Etheridge songs.
You must be a lot younger than me, I thought everyone would recognize it, it is an old Ink Spots number. I saw them perform it live in Raliegh, NC in 1970 and the group was twenty years past its prime then. Google “I don’t want to set the world on fire” by the ink spots. If you like smooth sounds and great vocals you will love it.

Does the CD set come with her PLAY that she wrote when she was AG??? Good grief!
“It’s the good, the bad and the ugly,” Reno said
Well she’s both “bad” and “ugly” so she’s got two thirds covered.
