  • PRICELESS!!!!!!

  • @gordondelma  Thanks much !

  • Sorry, but a biased liberal view of Saddam's execution while blaming President Bush for everything under the sun is just not my cup of tea. Perhaps if you did a song about all the lies Obama has told it would appeal to me more?

  • Thanks for stopping by, kjohns2001. You might find our video "Stimulus Package Blues" more to your liking.

  • That was incredibly fantastic Jan, how come I didn't find this sooner? You're great young lady!!!!!! Loved this re-write of Dylans classic. He should watch this!!! Mark

  • Thanks so much, Mark. This is my personal favorite of all my songs. I prepared for this for 30 years, in that I had memorized Desolation Row decades ago. When the "festivities" in Iraq cried out for this song to be written, I was ready.

  • A great rewrite.

  • @kjohns2001 Think ya might go cut one in your own church there, eh, champ?!

  • i think robert zimmerman would approve of the liberties you took in changing up his song a bit. well done!

  • PRICELESS!!!!!!

  • As Noriega learned, and now Saddam, you don't steal from your partner or double cross the Bush's.

    Thanks for that good one.

  • Politics aside. I think this is a good song. A good song should tell a story and have you listening for the next line and that is exactly what this song did for me

    Good one Jan Gord and Jody
