liberal ranting and raving, but sensitive explorations of the current American malaise
Good Without One was a drummerless and mercifully leaderless rock trio performing off the track and often humorous, often political originals and originally arranged covers. The players are George Potor, guitar and vocals, Joe DeCristopher, guitar and vocals, and Rick Totten, bass and vocals. These folks have played together in different contexts for decades, but only as this particular trio from 2003 - 2008. While the level of musicianship is high, their disdain for the trappings of rock stardom is legendary. Two of the members even remained seated throughout performances, despite no obvious physical impairments. Their drummerless approach was a novel but occasionally successful scam to get electric instruments into acoustic venues.

Lyrics
Verse 1: If the Battle of the Sexes Was a War Between the Nations, The women used the weapons That were hidden by their aprons, No bombs could be dropped, No guns could be shot. No bombs could be dropped, No guns could be shot. CHORUS Twenty-four hundred years; These things take time, Twenty-four hundred years; Time to unwind: Ly-Ly-Lysistrata Men that fight, you give them nada. Never give it up; Don’t ever give it up. VERSE 2: Wear a belt of chastity; They’re in the right position. Get their men to loosen up Their belts of ammunition. No Tanks could be built, No kids could be kilt.’ No Tanks could be built, No kids could be kilt.’ CHORUS VERSE 3: If every single General That ever had a wife Got sick enough of hearing: “Darling, not tonight,” No case could be made, No place to invade. No case could be made, No place to invade. CHORUS CODA: Don’t do it, Condoleeza, when Dick Cheney looks at you with that Viagra gleam in his eye you gotta have yourself the mother of all headaches Laura, babe, tonight America is counting on you; slip into your best Victoria Secret style, dim down those lights and when Dubya comes in the room, you gotta look him right in the eye and say “no.” NEVER GIVE IT UP, DON’T EVER GIVE IT UP
