Why does he have to talk?

[Hieronymus Murphy]

This is a GREAT video, of course. My only quibble is that the video doesn't show the ENTIRE string section that's part of Alejandro's full band. Susan is a killer violinist, no question, but Matt Fish and Brian Standifer also deserve props for being the best rock 'n' roll cellists around!

Well his politics are quite clear...after that I have no clue

[Craig Doerfler]

A decent song but Reckless Kelly does it far better. And yeah, shhhhhhhhh, amigo

[DIsraelTV]

Lol. A lot of butthurt white people leaving comments. Makes me chuckle inside.

As your Chicano brother I think your music is great, and I could care less about your political beliefs, because I'm not a sensitive spoon-fed assclown. :)

1-10-2012. He's havin' fun at 61. Happy Birthday, Alejandro.

[AliasKelly]

Love this song - your political comments, not so much. You are a performer, dude - leave it at that.

[SparkyMcBiff]

9.2% unemployment?!!??

Ha ha. In your dreams.

Try doubling that at least and in many places it is over 20%.

Here's a note for you: the government lies.

id build a wall to keep bush out.

This is why we can't have bi-partisanship because, a guy like ALejandro thinks the fact that he has muscial talent he is an expert on politics. And so many douchebags in Washington believe that too. Meanwhile Alejandro does not attck his friend Bruce Sprringsteen for avoiding NJ property taxes.

Alenjandro why don't you write a song that fixes entitlement spending, solves all the problems in the Mddel East and fixes 9.2% unemployment and 50% plus employment among our most vulnaerable?
