Ever seen albums dedicated against Presidents

[Gasolinedream]

I am in my lower 30's so I don't have lots and lots of history, but I have never seen so many groups against a president and Presidency.

Has anyone else.

The link here is to a punk site against Bush basically. A new album came out In April called "Rock aginst Bush"

Have you ever seen a "Rock against Clinton, Rock against Reagan, or anything like that??

I never have.

9. nope, not on it.

5. hell yes..

in the early-mid eighties there were TONS of anti-Reagan albums.

hell, there were bands that even named themselves that way (e.g. Reagan Youth).

Ronald Reagan was the best thing that ever happened to punk rock in the US.

11. I don't remember...

a lot of Anti-Reagan stuff, at least not so mainstream. This is easily the most hated public official of the last 60 years or so. I have read that Herbert Hoover was not well liked, but this seems so concentrated nowadays. I plan on getting this punk album.

I remember Ministry had a line in the song Stigmata (live version):

"F**K George Bush, F**K his ugly wife"...

Always brought a chuckle.

6. I guess sort of in a subtle way in the late 60's and early 70's

Those were also very volatile times, and the music was in a very protesting mode against the war in Vietnam and the "Establishment."

But I can't recall presidents being called out directly in song lyrics or album names. I believe Bush may be the most hated president in our lifetimes, and record labels these days are more tolerant to artists' creativity, even if it means denouncing Bush.

7. Who can

ever forget DaDa

"I just flipped off President george, now I'm going to DizzNee Land"

It was during his dad's reign of terror but it works today also.

8. Ramones...

"My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)"

You've got to pick up the pieces
C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to say

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

If there's one thing that makes me sick
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down

also, Dead Kennedys "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now"

10. Public Enemy's Latest

includes a song called "Son of a Bush"

Refrain: He's the son of a bad man! x10

oh no
struck by greased lightning
F'd by the same last name
you know what? China ain't never givin back that gottdamn plane
must got this ol nation trained
on some kennel ration
refrain
the same train
fulla cocaine
froze the brain
have you forgotten
i been thru the first term of rotten
the father, the son
and the holy Bush-it we all in
dont look at me
i aint callin for no assassination
im just sayin, sayin
who voted for this asshole of the nation
deja Bush
crushed by the head rush
15 years back
when i wrote the first bum rush
saw you saluteto the thenvice prez
who did what Raygun said
and then became prez
himself went for delf
knee deep in his damn self
stuck in a 3 headed bucket
of trilateral Bush-it
sorry ain't no better way of puttin it
no you cannot freestyle this
cause yo ass still ain't free
if fight for yalland they get me
how many of yall is comin to get me?
none
cause its easier to forget me
ain't that a Bush
son of a Bush is here
all up in your zone
you aint never heard so much soul to the bone
i told y'all when the first Bush was tappin my phone
spy vs spy, can't truss em
as you salute to the Illuminati
take your ass to your 1 millionth party

refrain

now here's the pitch: high and inside certified genocide
ain't that a Bush repeat ain't that a Bush
out of nowhere
headed to the hothouse?
killed 135 at the last count...Texas bounce
cats in the cage
got a ghost of a chance
of comin back
from your whack ass killin machine
son of a Bush ain't that a son of a Bush
cats doin bids
for doin the same Bush-it that you did
serial killer kid uh serial killer kid

refrain

Bridge: the father, the son, and the holy Bush-it we all in! x3

Coke its the real thing
used to make you swing
used to be your thing
daddy had you under his wing, Son of a Bush
bringin kilos to fill up silos
you probably sniffed piles
got inmates in Texas scrubbin tiles
that shit is wild
CIA child
that shit is wild
CIA child

refrain
