@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.

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
