Musicians around the world want to send Bush packing

A-Listers and scores of others are sick of the bullshit



Bruce Springsteen, Jethro Tull, Lou Reed, James Taylor, Dave Matthews, Moby, Michael Stipe, Radiohead, Blur, Travis, John Mellencamp, Green Day, NOFX, Tom Morello, Dixie Chicks, Don Henley, Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Bigger Than The Beetles, Aborted Mozarts, Bushitler, Dave and the Rockets, and hundreds of other bands and musicians are getting out the message. And it doesn't look good for Bush. The Resident that is. Bush the band is fine, as is Kate Bush. We love Kate. Can she change her name though? Just kidding.

Culture precedes politics...unless that culture is backward. In that case Progress washes over. The Bush "culture" of backwardness is just a bunch of hoohahs in deepest Texas. Time for us cultural elites to show the way. Lord knows Bush hasn't a clue!

Although they may not had said as much, you and I know that Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young. the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, the Grateful Dead, King Crimson, Van Der Graff Generator, Faust, Psycho Serious, Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil, Return to Forever, John Coltrane, Stockhausen, Berio, Ginestera, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, David Hykes, B-52s, Cars, Led Zeppelin, Steppenwolf, Eels, the Chieftains, Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, Madonna, ELP, Robert Moog, Strawbs, Gryphon, Lou Ford, David Moss, Fred Frith, John Zorn, Flipper: The Bird, The Floyd the Barbers, 9 Inch Peepees, Monkey, Beetle, Ten Years After, Jesse Colin Young, the Eagles, Lou Harrison, Pink Floyd, Wear Egos Apollo, Smiths, Depeche Mode, Thompson Twins, Beth Orton, Bjork, Roberta Flack, and just about anyone else worth their salt...is against Bush's re-election.

Yes, there is Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood on his side, but they suck, and are not very edifying. Only nationalistic and sentimental. Yuck! Phooey!

The forces of Light are tiring of Bush's murderous pillaging of the globe and its resources. They really should be ashamed of themselves. Arrogance and Egoism, as well as fear and greed, keep the Bushies from seeing the big picture.

Music and Art will lead us out of this darkness.

But it doesn't stop there. Any sculptor, writer, poet, playwright, painter, architect, or creative...who actually creates...is more than likely against Bush. And why? For one thing, they see Bush as the opposite of a creator. And rightly so. He is a destroyer. But he is also that other antonym to creator...a reactionary. [See Robert Fritz on the two orientations.]


Now with the arrival of Liberal Radio, maybe we will see some of these musicians insist that they only be played on Progress Media or other of the budding Liberal stations. Watch where the ears go then! Clear Channel will sink like a stone...weighed down with dross.

We at Anonymoses hope that they use their pool of talent and genius in all the creative arts, and lay waste to the moribund Wingnut Radio.

Looking for an investment? The world, and at least half of America, is demanding a change. This may be one of the better first beginnings.
