About 17,000 pro-USA patriotic CD's, mostly homemade, have arrived at the WFMU PO Box since 9/11/01. I usually give them all to Ken. But once in a while, a catchier one grabs and winds up in the WFMU new bin. This one immediately reminded me of the infamous Mortimer: Unkie Dunkie Baloney Slicer comedy record with the pacing of the vocalist, a Point Plesant, New Jersey teacher named Nicholas Miglio. He kindly allows us to post this MP3 and says: "HURRAY FOR THE USA! is an upbeat, patriotic song in praise of our great nation USA! The lyrics are inspiring and powerful. It is a NON-political song, meant for ALL Americans. Even with its many problems, America remains the number 1 nation in the world in the fight for freedom, democracy, and human dignity. Imagine school children of all ages all across America falling in love with this song. Now imagine the pride!" Happy 4th of July everyone.
"Even with its many problems, America remains the number 1 nation in the world in the fight for freedom, democracy, and human dignity."
Nonsense. May have been true once upon a time.

The only thing we are number one in is our own minds.

"America remains the number 1 nation in the world in the fight for freedom, democracy, and human dignity"
Not anymore... Sorry, and I am really sorry about it, but not anymore.

just like george orwell said:
"war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength"
and just like wayne kramer sings:
"a broken promise in the promised land"
and just like neil young sings:
"but there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead, there's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead, don't feel like Satan, but I am to them!"
some people are completely brainwashed and believe the lies of the so called leaders of the free world (leader translates in german as fuehrer, hitler called himself also fuehrer, so when george w. bush calls himself leader he always makes me think of hitler), but free people don't need no leaders, only sheep on the way to the slaughter

Clearly this guy is god's gift to the local high school stoners.

Reminds me too much of Billy Zoom (of once-great group X) and the kind of cruddy 'roots rock' he likes. The scumbag's part of the "conservate punk" movement and is an a--hole...

"Conservative punk", I meant! I'm so mad!

Methinks there are a few folks who are too too serious. Just a bit of fun....
Pt. Pleasant is full of stoners and little skate kids who likely still go to the local Christian Youth Group to give them an ironic buzz. This guy plays right in to the hands of these little turds.
I should know. I hung out at Pt. Pleasant boardwalk.
