I'm not talkin' 'bout a regular guy
D
'Cause he's never ever wrong, and he can't tell a lie
Em -------------------- C
And you're with him now, or the other guy

I'm not talkin' 'bout an honest man
Sent your son to a foreign land
Now there's blood on the ground, and on his hands

D-------------- C
"Fool me once, sh-sh-sh-shame on you
G ----------------------- D
Fool me, can't get fooled again"

Nobody's gonna get away with that
Somebody's gonna hafta pay for that
Somebody's son not coming back

1. Thank you. You know how much I loved this

I understand much more about Bush* and these remarks after listening to a guest on Al Franken's show, Mark Crispin Miller, who has written a Bushism book, but with analysis. He said that Bush* is incapable of feeling empathy or compassion, so makes gaffes like "I know how hard it is to put food on your family." He cannot admit or deal with shame or embarrassment, so cannot pronounce Abu Ghraib or say "shame on me," even if it's just an "old saying." But when discussing punishment or death, he practically waxes poetic. A very screwed up guy.
:scared:

But thanks for posting this. I'll pass it on, again.:hi:

[Liberal_Andy]

2. thanks again, Rhiannon

You know, revRecluse heard it here (at DU) and has been playing it on his internet radio show on www.radioenigma.com.

[Rhiannon12866]

3. I am so glad. This deserves to be played on every radio station

in the nation. I will pass this on, yet again. It certainly won't hurt and could do some good. Thanks, again, for an excellent song.:yourock:

[enigmatic]

32. It's a great song!

Hey Rhiannon!

This is revRecluse; Andy's song can still be heard on Radio Enigma on The Recluse Show, as well as stuff from other DU members Gothic Sponge and Beware The Beast Man.

Andy's song indeed is great; he's gotten a great response from the listeners of my station...

[Rhiannon12866]

54. WOW! Thank you! I'm so sorry that I missed this before

I don't know that much about radio, but I'd love to find this. I live in NY. Can I access this here? And, I agree, this song is extremely well-done!:D

I almost forgot! Andy posted the link to your radio station website. I just accessed it and it is amazing!:wow:

[Rhiannon12866]

4. KICK!

I'm passing this on, yet again!:kick:

[Liberal_Andy]

5. the mp3 link has changed, here it is.

And while you're at Jim's web page, check out his CD "Buried Land"!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Thanks! I'll pass this on again!

You know that I admire your talent and think that this song is a keeper!:-)

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Here's the original video that this song is based on

Not everybody, even on DU, will get this, so I'm posting it again. Thanks for the new link and, especially, the great song!:hi:

[President Kerry]

8. Andy and Rhiannon, thanks!

well done.. Moore used the video as the last shot in Fahrenheit 911, and it's fitting somebody had to catch that and write a song out of it. Good website all around.. Again thanks to both of you.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. You're welcome, though I can hardly take credit for this!

It's his song. I just happen to think that it's exceptional and that everybody deserves to hear it!:D

I remember this video being shown at the end of "F 9/11." I could practically stutter along with it.:-(

On edit: Welcome to DU, MassDem VKat! I guess I wan't paying enough attention! Thanks for your great judgement and so very glad to have you with us!:hi:

[Liberal_Andy]

11. yer welcome, MassDem VKat!

believe it or not, I wrote it in the first week of June, I still haven't seen the movie. But I'm buying the DVD.

Thanks for the kind words!

Please listen and enjoy! And please let me know of other songs to add to my collection!

[Liberal_Andy]

12. now that's a list!

wow! Well, you can add "Fool Me Once" by The Near Myths to it now. It's getting played on www.radioenigma.com ,on the Recluse Show. He's put it in a great playlist, "Something In The Air".

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Al Franken would probably be interested in this

He's up on everything, so surely is familiar with the "Shame On You" Bush* video. It's worth a shot. I can definitely see him using this song on his show.:-)

[Rhiannon12866]

13. Kick!

I just called this up, once again, to play it for some friends! They loved it...:-)

[Liberal_Andy]

14. PM me,

and I'll mail you a copy.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. As payback, here's the video for your sig line

17. kick

I love this forum! You only need to kick around once a month.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. Kick!

I love your song, probably since I am so familiar with the incident that inspired it, but, also, because it is so well-done! Everybody I know who has heard it agrees.:-)

[Liberal_Andy]

19. Kick

:kick:

It's gonna be on the Guy James Show this week, (or so I've been told).

:beer:

[Rhiannon12866]

20. When and where is this? Can I tune in?

I only listen to the radio while I'm driving.:shrug:

[Liberal_Andy]

Its at www.theguyjamesshow.com/ 2:45PM today - and at later times at www.whiterosesociety.org/

Powertalk 1200 AM

[Rhiannon12866]

22. Oh, poop! I am in Northern New York State

Any chance of anybody playing it who's closer to me than the other end of the country?! I do know a fellow liberal who lives in Florida. I'll pass this info on to her. Sigh.:hi:

[Liberal_Andy]

23. listen on the internet

http://www.theguyjamesshow.com/

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Thank you! I'll give it a try! You are certainly helpful!

I haven't done much of that sort of thing. I can't listen to Al Franken during the day, so I watch him on TV, at night, on The Sundance Channel.:shrug:

And I'm sorry, two more years is way too long for me to wait...:grr:

[Liberal_Andy]

28. we have to stop meeting like this...

:toast:

[Rhiannon12866]

29. LOL! I'll meet you here anytime

If it means that I get to hear your song again. Unfortunately, you have renewed inspiration.;(

[Liberal_Andy]

30. One kick every eight days, like a cheap date! (the song, not you!)

:kick:

[Rhiannon12866]

31. Thanks so much!

But I am a cheap date! One kick a week is all I require, as long as it is on-line! And I can help out with the kicks, to keep the song available!:hi:

[enigmatic]

33. You should be proud, Andy!

It's a great song, bro. We're still playing it (as well as "Rapunzel") on Radio Enigma, so listen away;)

[Liberal_Andy]

34. Thanks, rev! (U2 Rhiannon!)

I been checking out the Sampler, and Gumbo, haven't caught Rapunzel yet, but I'll keep trying.

[Rhiannon12866]

38. Welcome to DU, demio! Glad to have you with us!

And thanks for the great link!:kick:

[Spiffarino]

35. How can we use your song?

I'm a musician and would like to play it for folks. Are there the usual restrictions on live performance, recording, etc., or are you making it PD?

Thanks for a great protest song! Sh-sh-shame on you!

[Liberal_Andy]

36. I have registered the copyright for the words and music.

That's all for now. Play it! Play it loud! (Just give me credit!) I'm not making it PD, (at least I don't think I am), so play the hell out of it. and if you record it, PM me, and I'll give you my email address so you can send me the mp3. I'd love to hear your version. I'm releasing it this spring, if the engineer ever finishes mixing the other songs on the CD.

Thanks, and good luck. I'm glad you like it!

Peace, love & music!

[ChiciB1]

37. I'm A Boomer....

But I LOVE "MOSH!!" This one is GREAT too! I just wish Eminem or some of the others would get together and START SOMETHING!

[Liberal_Andy]

39. Thanks, ChiciB1!

and welcome to DU!:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

40. I also welcome you to DU, ChiciB1!

Glad to have you, and your good taste, with us!:toast:

41. Merry X-Mas & Happy New Years Kick!

42. And Happy Holidays to You!!!

Hope they were great!!!:hi:
:toast::party::beer::bounce::toast::party::beer::bounce::toast::party::beer::bounce::kick:

[Liberal_Andy]

44. They were great! We got about 6-8" of snow on the 26th,...

in Wilson (the name of our forthcoming CD). Pretty cool.

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

46. Don't you mean that they were great, except for the snow?!

That's my feeling, but we had almost that much, just yesterday, here in the North Country.*sigh*:-(

Congrats on the CD! That is totally cool!:yourock:

Where and when can we find it? And where is Wilson?:shrug:

[Liberal_Andy]

47. no details yet on distribution, I assume it will be available at our

web page, CDBaby.com, Amazon.com, efolkmusic.com

http://home.nc.rr.com/clarkja/CDs/tnm/index.htm

That's Jim Clark's page really. He released a solo CD of poetry and Appalachian folk songs called "Buried Land" in '03. Check it out!

http://home.nc.rr.com/clarkja/CDs/bl/index.htm

It's on the Oasis label, and I suspect "Wilson" will also. So far our engineer has mixed about 6-7 of the 9 songs on the CD.

Wilson is in Eastern NC, just off I-95, about 35 miles (I'm guessing) from the Va. line. I live in Greensboro, but was there for X-Mas. My wife's sister lives there. We don't get enough snow down here to know better, so we always like it!

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

L_A

[Rhiannon12866]

48. Thank you! I always enjoy your song and more is better!

I have a new car, so would love to play this while I'm driving. I'm familiar with Greensboro, since my grandmother retired to NC, so I spent a lot of time there. However, she lived in Black Mountain, just outside of Asheville, in the western part of the state. Lovely country, but they totally freaked out at the slightest dusting of snow! They totally shut everything down, LOL! But I envy all of you in NC, since those of us in the North Country get hit with feet of snow, not inches. *sigh* I hate winter.:-(

Thanks and let me know what's going on with this. I love your song and will pass it on to kindred spirits, and remind those who I already have made aware of it. Stay warm and drive safe.:-)

Rhiannon:hi:

[enigmatic]

43. Still playing it on Radio Enigma, bro!

Good job!

[Liberal_Andy]

45. I know, you're playing all my buddies too!

I see you dabble in the Willbmusic. I recorded the demo of "Fool Me Once" in his basement studio. He played a killer "Wilber-Lead" on it. I ought to send it to you.

:smoke:

[Liberal_Andy]

49. "Just got back from Winter 2005 East Coast Tour" kick!

[lonestarnot]

50. Thanks Liberal_Andy!

51. yer welcome, lonestarnot!

:hi:

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Another kick for you, my friend

And your great song!:hi:

[Liberal_Andy]

53. Thank you again, my friend!

They say we're fixin' to get 3"-5" of snow & sleet here, beginning around noon. We actually look forward to it down here, dumb rednecks!

[Rhiannon12866]

55. You're always welcome. And I wouldn't say you're dumb, more like

insane, to welcome snow and sleet. I live in serious snow country and it is a nightmare! And, if you're in the South, I pity you! My grandmother lived in the South and they had no snow removal equipment and had no idea how to drive in snow. Everything was paralyzed! But it is probably worse for those of us in the North Country! We're just expected to keep going, even if you can't see where you're going or have to crawl up the steps because they are coated with ice. I'd just prefer to hibernate until winter is over.

56. Best protest song ever, IMHO.........For What is Worth.....

Buffalo Springfield

"Something is happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear.

Stop now, what's that sound
Everybody look
What's going round.

http://members.tripod.com/~Buffalo_Springfield/

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH:
THE STORY OF BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD
by John Einarson with Richie Furay
There's somethin' happening here,
What it is ain't exactly clear.
There's a man with a gun over there,
Tellin' me I gotta beware.
I think it's time we stop,
Hey, what's that sound,
Everybody look what's going down.


- For What It's Worth, Stephen Stills, 1966


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


An updated, expanded edition of "For What It's Worth: The Story of Buffalo Springfield"
will be published in early 2004 and can be ordered now at Amazon.com.
Used versions of the first edition are also available.
John Einarson's latest book, Desperados - The Roots of Country Rock chronicles the
history of Southern California country rock from its rise from an unknown form, to a
genre that spawned the best selling album of all time: The Eagles Greatest Hits.

And keep an eye out for John's next effort, a biography of The Byrd's Gene Clark, entitled
Gene Clark: Tambourine Man, to be published by Backbeat Books in the spring of 2005.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The lyrics from the Buffalo Springfield's 1967 hit For What It's Worth have come to symbolize the turbulent decade of the 1960s. Employed in virtually every documentary, television special, and feature film (including Forrest Gump and Oliver Stone's Born On The Fourth Of July) chronicling that era in America, For What It's Worth has transcended the pop charts to become an anthem, a touchstone for an entire generation. In 1967, the Buffalo Springfield captured the restless, confrontational mood of that generation railing against the establishment and went on to be revered as one of rock music's most influential groups. The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock 'N' Roll cites the band among a handful of seminal rock pioneers. A glance at rock's greatest movers and shakers of the 1970 and 80s reveals just how significant the Buffalo Springfield legacy has been: Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, Poco, Loggins and Messina, Souther, Hillman & Furay, Neil Young & Crazy Horse. All arose from the ashes of the Springfield.
Hailed as the quintessential sixties California pop group, the Buffalo Springfield

57. But then there is always "Imagine", John Lennon

We all lost him way to soon.

Imagine a world..........

[Liberal_Andy]

58. agreed on both choices!

I think it spoke volumes when Neil chose Imagine as his 9/11 Benefit song.

[Rhiannon12866]

59. Well, Andy, I realize, now, that I was an idiot!

My friend visited me, tonight. I often send her things I think she'd be interested in, since she is a fellow liberal, but she only has access to a PC at work, so many things I send her just don't work for her there, like videos, though she can read and print out articles just fine.

While she was here, there were several things I wanted her to see, and I wanted her to hear your wonderful song, if she hadn't. I called up the link to the Bush* gaffe it was based on, which I thought I had posted on your thread, so she'd understand it, but I discovered that I had posted the completely wrong Bushism! In my defense, there are so many, but I know now why you didn't say anything. *sigh*

Anyway, I'm sorry. Here is the link I meant to post, the inspiration for your wonderful song. Better late than never. Shame on me.:spank:

http://www.symbolman.com/shames.html

[Liberal_Andy]

60. I get the same feeling about myself,...

several times a week, don't worry about it! Your heart's in the right place.

Isn't the symbolman great?

[Rhiannon12866]

61. I just felt like an idiot, since I never noticed

And I am OCD, so always double-check any post I ever make.:shrug:

But thanks for the kind words. I knew that I had the original video of this Bush* gaffe, so thought it was important to post on this thread. I may have more than one version of it, but this is the one I ran across first. And I agree that Symbolman is also just the best. And I am very proud that Eric is also a member of DU. We have so many amazing and creative people here, including you. I will always be grateful that I found DU, and the people that I've encountered here, who are just the best.:-)

[Liberal_Andy]

62. A heads up, FMO is being replaced with Rapunzel, another song on our CD..

On that link. I'm not sure when, but there's only room for one, and we wanted to generate some more "buzz" for the CD, since we anticipate it's release in the not too distant future.

The Near Myth's might be getting our very own website soon, (instead of piggy-backing on Jim's),...I'll let you know when that happens.

[Rhiannon12866]

63. Thank you for letting me know. This has to be good news!

I'm sure that the CD will be excellent, as is FMO. And I'm assuming that you'll be posting the link for the website. The best of luck with this and let us know how this goes. As I said to my friend, the other night, you just have to hear this, since this guy is so talented.:-)

[Liberal_Andy]

64. Another FMO Bump

:kick:

[Rhiannon12866]

65. And another kick from your friend and fan!

Rhiannon:-):kick:

[Liberal_Andy]

66. Thank you, friend.

Only one more song to mix, and the CD's sent to mastering, then to the presses.

Guess at some point I'm gonna hafta remember all the little people, huh?

[Rhiannon12866]

67. Congratulations! And don't forget me, LOL!

And you'll have to tell me where to get this, since I have a CD player in my new car. So far, I only have one, "Fleetwood Mac, Greatest Hits," no big surprise.:-)

[Liberal_Andy]

68. Here's a struggling kick4progress!

:kick:

[Rhiannon12866]

69. Hi, Andy, how's it going?!

I just sent on your great song to another DUer musician, who I actually met, as well as BooBooDay's. But he had already heard and liked yours. Any more news about where this is being played? And you know that you always get another kick from me!

Rhi :hi:

[Liberal_Andy]

70. Hi, Rhiannon, I guess I've been better,...

Got a little medical thingy that came up, here's an update

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3718310

[Rhiannon12866]

71. Oh, Andy! I am SO sorry! I haven't been on much, so had no idea!

And of all things to afflict you! I am familiar with much of what you describe, since my Dad had throat cancer. And you are surely not the "other" Andy. Though I admit to knowing God_bush_n_cheney since I first joined DU. I may be a member of the DU Atheist/Agnostic group, but I also still wear a cross which I bought in an old church, in Soviet Georgia, Stalin's birthplace, so I promise to send up a prayer for you this very night. Maybe it'll attract more attention, since this is such a rare thing for me. Please let me know how you're doing. I love your song and admire your talent.

Rhiannon :hug:

edited for punctuation. I was upset.;(

[Liberal_Andy]

72. Thank you, Rhiannon, ...

We'll get through this. Gots tons of good vibes coming my way! DU rocks!

[Rhiannon12866]

73. DU does rock!

I have seen so many expressions of kindness, sympathy, support and generosity in my time here that sometimes it's overwhelming. DU has to be the best site on the web. And I'm so relieved to hear that things are looking up for you and, again, I am so sorry I didn't know. I'll continue to send positive thoughts and prayers your way.:hug:

I listened to both, but still believe that "Shame on Me" is brilliant. I hope that you're doing well and feeling well. We need your outspoken and talented voice.

My heart and thoughts are with you. And it sure sounds to me that you have fighting spirit, not to mention humor, to get through this, and beat it.:hug:

96. Sorry I'm so late on this...

Greensboro, NC, huh? I would have loved to have made it and thanks for the invitation. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here in snowy NY. It's been coming down all day and I almost broke my neck, just now, taking my dogs outside. Actually, I've spent quite a bit of time in NC, but in Black Mountain, outside of Asheville, since my grandmother lived there. Beautiful country! (But they totally shut down at the merest dusting of snow...) I hope that your party was a great success and that you sold lots of CDs! And I hope that you post future appearances, since you never know...:D

107. this one

You know, I am not really sure that protest songs are what it's all about. For example; did you know that one the deck of the Titanic back in 1912, while it was sinking, everyone finally realized there was really nothing do do but wait for someone to hopefully rescue the ship, and so instead of sitting around doing nothing, they all started singing...they started singing this creepy song too...about being nearer to God...like do you see the irony there? But aside from that, they all sang songs qwhile their ship sank. Now I figuer if you were half way intelligent, you could build a raft of somekind out of material on board...you know, while everyone was singing and having a final cocktail I would have been building my raft...or how about everyone climbing off the ship and getting onto the iceberg that sank them, I mean i't not like that baby was gonna be sinking anytime soon, you know what I mean?

The point being that you guys in America are kind of like the people on the Titanic...I mean that babies goin DOWNNNNN....and singing won't really help too much.

Although some of the people on board of the Titanic drank so much alchohol before the ship sank that when they hit the water they didn't get cold at all, in fact it was very refreshing for some, and a few were picked up several hours later, not so drunk anymore, but still alive.

The moral is, singing won't help, unless you have alcholhol to go along with it. Speaking of which...

[Liberal_Andy]

108. Maybe singing won't help,...but this is why we do.

Years from now people (historians and others) are going to be asking questions,..."Didn't you know what was going on?"..."Can't you read the papers and see that Bush is selling a lie?"..."Why is everybody just going along with this farce?"..."Where's the outrage?"

Well I didn't just go along, I wrote several letters to my congressman. I wrote LTE. And I wrote this damn song and put it on a CD. So after I'm gone, when people start asking these questions, they will know that Liberal Andy knew what was going on, he read the papers, he didn't just go along. I tried to tell everybody, it just took way too long to sink in I guess.

[Rhiannon12866]

109. September kick. From me, to you.

Sorry that I've been absent. I've been away, but I'm back now. :-)

And I totally agree with your post. Years from now, history is going to judge this corrupt administration and will definitely judge the rest of us. You have absolutely done your part...:pals:

Rhiannon:hug:

on edit: p.s. I also adopted a puppy, the second dog on my sig. Meet Jack...:D
