“This is a song called Livin’ In the Future. But it’s really about what’s happening now. Right now. It’s kind of about how the things we love about America, cheeseburgers, French fries, the Yankees battlin’ Boston… the Bill of Rights [holds up microphone, urging crowd to cheer] … v-twin motorcycles… Tim Russert’s haircut, trans-fats and the Jersey Shore… we love those things the way womenfolk love Matt Lauer. But over the past six years we’ve had to add to the American picture: rendition, illegal wiretapping, voter suppression, no habeus corpus, the neglect of our great city New Orleans and its people, an attack on the Constitution. And the loss of our young best men and women in a tragic war. This is a song about things that shouldn’t happen here—happening here.”

Yeah well, he might as well add to the list the murder of an obscene number of Iraqi's, (called genocide if you're Jewish), the displacement of millions of Iraqi's, the sell out of our constitution to the corporate PIGS, and the use of 911 to incorporate the fascist BushCheneyInc regime complete with Jerkoff of Fatherland security. Shout it from the rooftops. At the top of your lungs. NOW.
