1. This is wonderful. Pink speaks for me.

:scared: Words I thought I'd never say.

P.S. on edit. I didn't know she had pipes like that.:applause:

[Mythsaje]

3. Her Missunderztood album is one of my faves...

I already KNEW she had pipes like that. Her soulfull blues duet with Steven Tyler is a wonder to hear.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

4. Now ask yourself...

Why ain't this awesome song being played on the radio?

You already know the answer.

[Mythsaje]

5. Because commercial radio sucks dog testicles?

The only place I listen to music radio is at work. If I want to listen to tunes at home, I launch my music service.

[proud2BlibKansan]

24. Who listens to the radio?

Not me. Except AAR on XM.

[chookie]

12. Wow -- she is really talented

I didn't know much about her before this, but now I can't wait to further explore her artistry.

Thanks for the tip about the album -- that'll be the first place I'll look to listen.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

41. My girls listened to her

- but I never really paid any attention - I always assumed she was fm radio fluff.

I was wrong.

[chookie]

13. Oops a dupe post now deleted

[snappyturtle]

2. AWESOME!! THANKS!!!!

[medeak]

6. think she and Neil Young should tour together n/t

[OneAngryDemocrat]

7. Well, now that you mention it...

I think that P!nk, Neil Young, The Dixie Chicks, Bright Eyes, Madonna, Roseanne Cash, Pearl Jam, The Beastie Boys, Kenye West, Eminem, Michael Franti, R.E.M., Green Day, NOFX, Anti-Flag, Billy Bragg, Ani DeFranco, Lizzie West, Lenny Kravitz, and a whole lot of other artists should get their butts out to some farm, somewhere in up-state New York, and make some mucho money for the anti-war movement, all up there on the same stage.

THAT'S what I think.

Visit my anti-war website, www.shockedandawful.com

[medeak]

8. terrific website!

you took the words out of my mouth....surely it wouldn't be THAT difficult to get them all together for the cause?

[graywarrior]

9. Yeah, great site. I bookmarked it.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

11. Thank you very much...

I really, really appreciate the feed-back. It's a one-man show, and I can spend the whole darn day working on it.


:)

[IndyOp]

19. Can ChumbaWumba come too? If so, I AM SO THERE!!!

:hi:

[blue cat]

29. Has Roseanne Cash written an anti-Bush song?

If she has, I want it ASAP.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

40. She is, but she hasn't...

She has made public statements where in she has denounced the war, and is a member of Musicians Against the War, but has yet to record an anti-war song. This summer, that may change.



Follow this link to hear her song about the Arab/Israeli conflict, ''Western Wall'': http://www.rosannecash.com/music.html

Track No. 21

[nyrnyr1994]

30. Good stuff!

Bookmarked and listened to songs, great choices.

I have one you might be interested in adding to this list - Amerika by Rammstein

(Here's the translated lyrics)

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

When there's dancing I want to lead
even if you're whirling around alone
Let yourselves be controlled a little
I'll show you how it really goes
We're making a nice round dance
Freedom is playing on all violins
Music is coming out of the White House
and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

I know moves that are very useful
and I will protect you from missteps
And whoever doesn't want to dance at the end
doesn't know yet that they must
We're making a nice round dance
I will show you the way
Santa Claus is coming to Africa
and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

We're all living in America
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We're all living in America
America, America

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I don't sing my mother tongue
No, This is not a love song

We're all living in America
America is wonderful
We're all living in America
America, America

We're all living in America
Coca-Cola, sometimes war
We're all living in America
America, America

31. Heck, there are so many more to add to this list...

Add some of these that have taken anti-Bush stances in other concerts too:
Dave Matthews band
Keb Mo
Bruce Springsteen
Ben Harper
Dave Rovics
John McCutcheon
System of a Down
Sparta
Steve Earle
Gil-Scott Heron (Need to have an updated version of "Work for Peace")

And for some of us old farts:
James Taylor
Bonnie Raitt
Willie Nelson
John Cougar Mellencamp
Joan Baez
Country Joe McDonald
Jackson Browne
C.C.C.P. (if they could be brought together to do an updated version of "American Soviet")
Thompson Twins (if they would do updates to "Lies, Lies, Lies", "Don't Mess with Dr. Dream!" (to be "Don't Mess with Doctor Dean!"), and "Judy Do" (updated to reflect story of Judith Miller)
Rolling Stones (IF they are prepared to take credit for and perform "Sweet Neocon")
John Fogerty
Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam) - IF we can get him into the country. If not, it would be a POWERFUL message to have a live satellite simulcast as its own form of protest with him performing from London, perhaps with 10,000 Maniacs and others doing his updated "Peace Train".
Gordon Lightfoot (if he could do a newer rendition of "Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald" that perhaps said something like "Talk to Sibel Edmonds, Fitzgerald".

I'm sure I could think of a lot more bands to add here if I had more time to spend now, but this would be a good sampling. This would certainly make the foundation for a REAL sequel to Woodstock, instead of those earlier less than soulful attempts to do so.

37. Add James McMurtry - "We Can't Make It Here"

Great anti-bush* protest song.

[Rex]

10. Wow

nt

[chookie]

14. Thanks for putting this all together

I am most grateful for the splendid effort you made here -- your web page is way cool. Thanks for exposing us to these relevant contemporary artists.

[philosophie_en_rose]

15. Pink CDs are great gifts for young women.

My nieces are 9 and 13. Pink sends such a self-respectful message. Far superior to all of the women with "Stupid Girl" images.

[OneAngryDemocrat]

16. I had never thought of that...

My girlfriend's two daughters are 9 and 14 - and you are SOOOOOOOOO right!!!

I had assumed that P!nk of the Dixie Chicks new CDs would be too ''deep'' for 'em... but, no - it's not. It's just right.

[goclark]

17. Should be Song of the Year! K and R

and emailed to your friends.

When you watch her perform it it is even more powerful.

Each word is meant to be etched in your brain and each line packs a wallop.

It should be the defining song of his Residency.

Bravo to Pink, classy lady!

[seabeyond]

18. i listened to her first time yesterday. have played dear mr pres 10

times. sons, especially youngest just loves. husband liked too last night. since i watched a clip of her on matt lauer singing stupid girls. i loved what she said before the performance. just impressed me so. i like like like this woman. a poster above said good influence for our girls. i couldnt agree more. so impressed with her. i am a new fan.

[IndyOp]

20. Thanks for letting us know your sons like her music, too --

Music by and about strong women is for girls and boys alike!

:hi:

[seabeyond]

21. my boys and i (a woman) are so damn tired of the male female

battle the world seems to be desperate to hatchet up a few notches. i dont care if it is the stupid girl shit going on or the (yes) stupid boy stuff. 8 year old and i listening to stupid girl, first her talking about the song, .... son said, there are a lot of stupid boys too. yes there are i say.....

keeps them balanced to see being human works with both genders, it is finding the higher in who we are and emphasising that, allowing that to be fed and allowed to grow. we truly are tired of the stupid stuff with both genders.

[IndyOp]

22. If you have seen Rhett's video "Didn't Know I Was Unamerican" - you should

Didn't Know I Was Unamerican

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

Also - Don't miss out on David Rovics' Who Would Jesus Bomb?

Tons more David Rovics

[Pacifist Patriot]

23. Wow, it gave me chills.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. That look on her face at the very end!!

"Dear Mr. President, you'd never take a walk with me, would you?"

[edwin]

26. Thanks!

For posting this! Beautiful.

[npincus]

27. I bought the CD yesterday

it's great and I could listen to her sing the phone book. What a voice.

[cascadiance]

28. Is YouTube censoring Pink now?

Just a 20-30 minutes ago, this video was showing up as todays #1 video viewed. Now it is nowhere to be found on Youtube's today's listings. I wonder if the Bushbots are trying to censor her more here too like they did in Rhapsody's ratings mentioned earlier. Note the # of views on the view page showing the video with 85886 views.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eDJ3cuXKV4

Go to the "Most viewed" today's ratings and the top clip shows 81871 views.

http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=t&page=1

She should still be #1!

[Oversea Visitor]

33. Looks like your are right

It disappear.
This fear of truth is starting to make people crazy
I read the comments
Some of things say so horribble
Even one asking people to kill her
Gee bush has created a monster

[OneAngryDemocrat]

39. I looked for it on YouTube...

With ''Pink,'' and ''Mr. President,'' as the search words.

I had no problem finding it.

Am I missing something, here?

[mvd]

32. Thank you!

I'm glad she starts out with how much the song means to her.

[mconvente]

34. Pink speaks for me too

I have to be honest, I never liked her music that much. She seemed like a punk rockstar who's songs were "pop-ish" just to make money (a la Britney Spears and such). But this song is EXCELLENT and she has a couple of other good ones too. I support Pink 100% now. We need to defend her from the attacks we know she'll get from the right.

[catchnrelease]

35. I'm impressed!

I knew who she was but hadn't paid much attention to her music. A couple of weeks ago she was on Oprah, talking about her "Stupid Girls" song and video, where she spoofs the likes of Spears, Hilton, and other celebs that seem to promote girls acting dumb. She is very passionate in her views, and has a super voice. I'll definitely be checking out that new CD. What a great role model for girls---smart, strong, sexy and talented.

[Pachamama]

36. I cry everytime I hear this song....It speaks from my heart....

:cry:

[tlsmith1963]

38. Wow...

That was an amazing song! I cried. We need more songs like that.

Tammy

[DanCa]

42. I rarely buy yahoo downloads this song was an exception.

Great job made my cry.
