120. With albums like "Shockin' Y'all", he cashed in on war hysteria.
The only time I ever see the guy, it's in connection with some pseudo-patriotic, militaristic, pop-aganda like that "Red, White, and Blue" song.

He may have never been wildly for the Iraq invasion, but he was riding that war train just as much as Dick Cheney was.
