I dunno, a party split of 4-1 doesn't sound all that bipartisan. More like Collin And The Republicans.

That said: ow my ears.

There's nothing like shiatty covers of Louie Louie and Wild Thing to bring Democrats and Republicans together

Peterson on one guitar
With Thaddeus for lead does spar
While Weldon beefy bass strings strums
As Kenny Hulsof pounds the drums
Jon Porter keyboards from Nevada
In dulce vida dagada

What did the troops do to deserve this horror?

"On the other hand? Know those musicians that DON'T take drugs and infact protest the use of drugs? ....boy do they suck!

'We rock against drugs 'cause it's what George Bush would want!!'"


Bill Hicks is more topical now than ever

rickythepenguin: I wonder if they cover "Fortunate Son"

Heh. Or The Decemberists' "Sixteen Military Wives."

What about the Tragically Hip - "New Orleans Is Sinking"?

That's crap. I was in a band called Second Amendment back, in 1987, when I was in high school.

back, in

Please disregard comma.

I guess now that Bush agreed to sign the anti-torture legislation, they can no longer play Gitmo...

ArizonaBay: Bill Hicks is more topical now than ever

Too bad he is still as unfunny.

Is there a photo of them as a band? That has to be a photoshop contest.

"Are you ready to rock?"


"I'm ready to vigorously play the drums!"

Oh yeah, this band also played FarmAid

Let the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeagle soooooooooooooooooooar!

Congressional band to rock the troops during holiday tour.....

Opening torturer act will be John Ashcroft singing "Let the Eagle Soar."

This has SUCK written all up and down the shaft.

I hope these guys don't get re-elected.

How dare they do this to us.

Your tax dollars at...ROCK!!!!

lol Brap, good picture.

where's the roflcopter when you need it....
will they dress the rock star part too?


thats hot


/not in any way is this hot..lol

I forget - is the second amendment the "freedom to listen to crappy music"?

gasp! rock is dead!

/not

I'm scared that I recognize GG Allin's torso but not the head 'shopped onto it.

Having actually heard them, they're not bad... They play like oldies and stuff and with most of "the troops" being pretty young they'd better hope that the novelty of "hey, that's my congressman" gets them by.

That should be "comprising five members of the House of Representatives."

"Comprise" means the same as "contain." Nothing is comprised of anything.

/useless nitpicky grammar pet peeve rant

Okay, fun's over, whoever hacked Weaver95's Fark account, 'fess up.

Angel of Death: Okay, fun's over, whoever hacked Weaver95's Fark account, 'fess up.

Yeah, I almost feel as if I should bashing the liberals (and myself) just to keep the universe in balance.

brap, nice work, GG would be proud.

jerry2a:

Actually its the freedom to blow your own head off, of which this band is clearly trying to encourgage more exercise.

A missed opportunity for the 'Scary' tag.

wiredroach

Nah, the usage is correct.

3 : COMPOSE, CONSTITUTE

Capitol Steps unavailable for comment.

2nd Amendments? Talk about a weak name for a band!

btw, 1st and 4th are old news. How about the soon to be Iraqi victory. Bush is NOT cutting and running, he is redeploying troops as the situation on the ground dictates.

Mosey: "Too bad he is still as unfunny."

And what, pray tell, is "funny" by your enlightened standards.

Sounds like they need better material to cover.

How about "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"?

RandomExcess: How about the soon to be Iraqi victory. Bush is NOT cutting and running, he is redeploying troops as the situation on the ground dictates.

Regardless of what they sound like, I totally applaud their efforts. Rarely do you see politicians (especially their kind!) getting out and doing something selfless like that. They're having a good time and doing something great for our troops. I have warm fuzzies now. Yay!

So are they going to buy Nirvana's Songs?

I still have to say that the strangest musician I've ever heard it is Peter Gammons. He does a benefit in Boston every year with Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo fame. Pater Gammons can actually play guitar and did a fairly decent version of Rout 66. Theo Epstein was also there with his band. Theo wasn't that good, but it was still amusing to watch.

Ok. As much as I am suspicious of any politician, it's good that they are willing to put their proverbial money where their mouths are and spend the holiday away from THEIR families. it should be a requirement at this point. Maybe if they all came back saying "I spent Christmas away from my family for THAT MESS?!" We'd have a schedule for withdrawal.

That said, my ears are bleeding at the thought of it...

They're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep,
If you don't love it, leave it,
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin',
When you're runnin' down our country
You're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.

- Haggard

Oh, and I vote to include The Clash's "White Riot" in the set.

Wonder if they'll be covering any Crass?

/do they owe us a living?

Are you adequately prepared to rock?
