Tearing the Patriot Act a new one & inciting thought. Multi-song madness, mock Clapton, Paul, & my tween daughter on alto sax. Neil(Needle/Damage) Ringo(It Don't Come Easy) EC(Let It Rain). Zep OTHAFA? Recorded June 2006. Too much fun.

MY OLDIES. In post-9/11 Bush-Cheney days, I vented by writing "MOp-eds", musical op-eds. I had an acoustic, electric, Yamaha keyboard, & MusicMaker10.
The light was all shining on me for a while there back in the oughts and I made some CDs and I uploaded some of the songs here. I came back in 2021, on the occasion of Darth Vadar's 80th birthday, to upload a couple more Dick (Cheney) songs I recorded back then, and I've re-ordered my songs so we can party like it's 2006 or 7.

Story behind the song
The Patriot Act did not sit well with many of us on the Left, and elsewhere. 2021 UPDATE: loaded this 2006 recording...listened to it...found some ironic hero and villain switching re: current events. The 2021 bad guys call themselves "patriots" but they are the insurgents and terrorists threatening America. We need an Act for them lol. TRUMP LOST.
Lyrics
JUST MAKE IT EASY/DON'T BE LAME (from "It Don't Come Easy"/"Let it Rain" and "The Needle and the Damage Done") Just make it easy They hope you make it easy Just make it easy They hope you make it easy [m'kay?] They're looking out for you and there's lots of stuff to do So they hope you make it easy [Let them wiretap your house and track your PC mouse-- only bad guys get uneasy.] Set aside your rights and let them borrow yes borrow [Anything they like. They'll just sneak a peak-- and put it back tomorrow.] They don't ask for much they only want your trust As they work to make it easy And you know the terror fight involves some nasty guys So the tactics may get sleazy Now open up your car and all your records and letters [You should know by now-- things will get worse before they're better. What?] You know, these guys have done anything they like ever since they let us get attacked. And they just keep taking our rights, and I don't think they're just going to give 'em back. It's just lame. It's so lame. It's about as lame as it could be. You know, but if I'm just taking it, if I'm not saying, 'Hey, cut it out, give me back my rights,' what's that make me? Lame.... They've done anything they like since they let you get attacked And if you let them take your rights you don't deserve them back Don't be lame Don't be lame Don't be lame and you'll stay free Don't be lame (don't be lame) Don't be lame (woohoo) Don't be lame lame lame They're not sure what to do so they're comin' after you And they hope you make it easy Don't let them come into your house or grope your lovely spouse Say 'Enough, you guys are cheesy' Keep hold of your piece in case it's needed yes needed (Let's roll.) [Here within their reach-- if you call yourself a patriot. What?] They don't tell us much they tell us just to trust Don't help them make it easy And you know their list of crimes keeps growin' all the time No surprise these guys are sleazy It's just lame. It's so lame. It's about as lame as it could be. Don't be lame. Don't. Be. Lame. Don't be lame and you'll stay free. Free
