Country anthem plays a drumbeat for war (Darryl Worley's Have You Forgotten)

Sean Hannity's program touted a country artist who was singing about his love for our nation.

Here's a USA Today story about the same artist.

Country artist Darryl Worley is first out of the gate with a record that endorses war with Iraq. The top new song on this week's country chart at No. 43, Have You Forgotten? may seem to equate Saddam Hussein with Osama bin Laden, but the record is striking a chord.

Thanks for putting up the song, bones! Great work! I like your tag, btw.

[RobFromGa]

great job. only suggestion for a future revision, a good picture of a jumper for the "living hell" line. But this is outstanding just the way it is.

And I agree with him when he says that we should still be seeing the planes slamming into the WTC more frequently.

This was my email to "Stevie"
You are a buffoon! Where do you get off telling us in America what we should listen to? I hope these radio stations that have paid you money to guide them in their decisions collapse under the weight of the pro-American sentiment! There is a phrase I love to hear, ”professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”! Look in the mirror.

[YepYep]

These are very awesome pictures and true sentiment. I will be glad to hear this song. Just a few minutes ago, another song was played on a local Texas radio station that was also great. It was to the tune of the oldies song Yakyty-Yak (Don't Talk Back), and was entitled Bomb Iraq. It is so new it can't yet be bought, but it may (?) can be heard, not downloaded, at vincevance.net.

The website info given is incorrect. There is now a message at that website stating that the Steve Warren who runs the website is not the Steve Warren from the article. He also gives the website and email address of the correct Steve Warren. They are: website and email

the E-mail link doesnt work. Probably because too many people were sending hate mail.

Outstanding....kudos...BTW, send a copy of your slide show to Darryl Worley's record company. I think you've got the outline of a great music video to accompany the song. Your images are perfect for the lyrics, including that shot of Sheryl Crow and her traitorous T-shirt. Get it in now and who knows...if they like your idea, they might give you a producer's credit on the video.

This is the reply I got back by using the email you posted. I flamed the guy pretty bad and he responded within an hour with a very polite respose. Please retract the email address you posted and lets find the real "Steve Warren"

Dear Mike: I am NOT the same Steve Warren who commented on the Darryl Worley record. There is (unfortunately) another Steve Warren (Music1, Inc. San Marcos Texas)in broadcasting. You may contact him at steve@gomusic1.com. Please correct your records and the records of others you might have contacted regarding this matter. Very Sincerely, Steve Warren MOR Media International/Country Oldies Show P.O. Box 683 New York, NY 10108

thanks budge.
I heard the song for the first time yesterday and wanted to do a photo montage instantly.

Great lyrics and great sentiments!

[bonesmccoy]

we can probably locate a phone number for freepers to call.

[P.O.E.]

A) That's a great song - catch it if you can.

B) Typical headline mischaracterization by the liberal media

C) Nice photo-montage.

[underthesun]

This is fantastic. Great job!

Cougar, PING! Just what we were talking about. To bad you don't have speakers. But this is really great.

[Travis McGee]

BUMP!

[Travis McGee]

BUMP!

Well, that settles it. We have got to go get that CD.

It's good to see that some people get it. The media tends to flood the airways with those who dont. I wish we would see more of this kind of thing. More Michael Waltrups saying "God bless our President and troops" after finishing 3rd in Las Vegas.

All we seem to get are the Gerafalos that say things like "Protesting Clinton wasn't hip" and shouts that its a war for oil.

My biggest fear is the inability for these people to wake up and see the real world. I ask what is it going to take to get them back to the reality of what we are facing here.

- Another terrorist attack on a major U.S. landmark?
- A recin attack in a major U.S. city?
- A small pox outbreak?

What is the cost for these people to face reality? To me the cost has already been too high.

Can I make the first really superficial comment besides saying the slide show is very moving?
As I don't listen to much country music, I was unfamiliar with Darryl Worley, but...

Thanks very much for posting his very nice looking pic....ahem, I'm sure my husband wouldn't mind purchasing this album for me...given Mr. Worley's patriotic stance.

may seem to equate Saddam Hussein with Osama bin Laden

And whats wrong with that? Saddam supports terrorists, including Al Qaida and OBL. He would have done what OBL did if he could. He tried to kill our first President Bush. Seems pretty similar to OBL to me.
