America in Denial

No, they wouldn't do that to us
--America in Denial, Elmer Creek Conspiracy

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent
about the things that matter
--Martin Luther King

One of our faithful readers, tw, was kind enough to send a gift recently of his CD. It is folk / jazz / pop fusion (hope you don't mind the slotting, tw), in the best spirit of American protest music.

He and his fellows are self-proclaimed amateurs doing what they can to have their voices heard. It is both funny and heartbreaking. Give it a listen here.

All the tracks are spot-on. Here's an excerpt from one, Bring Back the Draft:

You know we really don't care what's going on overseas
Cause we're over here living the life of ease
As long as it don't affect me or you
We really don't care what they do

Bring back the draft
Let rich America join in the bloodbath
Don't let just the National Guard get the shaft
Bring back the draft

Good work, tw and gang. Woodie Guthrie would be proud.
