How what I wrote is sad and ignorant escapes me, but if you're upset about Repubs. actually loving the songs even when they know it's satire (yes, I get you're endless satire argument, duh), then that is your problem. More GOP liked BR than Dems, so something wasn't working for poor ol' Tim. I remember it. Do you?
I get the sense that you think you know it all so this is where I will leave you. Spout off with quotes from Chomsky next time--you'll go far. Your boy is out in '12. Sorry!!
Might want to add to the descriptions of yer Bob Roberts covers that these are satirical songs, meant to actually make fun of right-wing mentality. It seems like a lot of folks viewing your covers have no awareness of "Bob Roberts."
@pudgenet Oh, my mistake. You have my sympathies, and I hope they find the right medications for you soon. Tim Robbins' songs were satire. For you to take them seriously as a pertinent critique is, well, scary and sad.
@SweetDissident You're confused. Yes, his songs were satire, but he unfortunately didn't quite understand what he was satirizing. That's fixed in my version, which is also satire. And that you didn't get that it was satire, and think it is serious, is kinda the point.
Whatever this debate about satire is supposed to amount to, I dunno. I do know, as someone who saw this in the theater and liked it (even as a fascist, neanderthal, GOPer), that Robbins didn't put out the soundtrack because it was right-wingers like me who liked the movie (even tho it was backhanded, to say the least) and the songs more than liberals did and he didn't want Republicans listening to the tunes all day. He shot himself in the foot with Bob Roberts.
OWS, anyone?

@SweetDissident I think you have no awareness of what I am doing. :-) Perhaps more to the point, Tim Robbins was wrong.

@lewiske That is both the saddest and most ignorant thing I have ever read. It's called "satire." Jesus.

You apparently don't know what "racism" means. I can suggest a few good dictionaries to help you out.

That is one of the best satirical songs in Bob Roberts, nice to hear it without all the interviews over it.

This is fucking awesome. Not only is it a good song, but I agree with the lyrics. So take that, Tim Robbins.

The contents are very reactionary but nevertheless a good song.
