Midlife Tragedy is a sad tale about a man who is a young punk at heart and doesn't realize he is approaching middle age!

RAD THOUGHT RELEASES “BREAKFAST WITH CONDI” NEW YORK, NY New York City based recording artist and songwriter RAD THOUGHT announced the release today of “Breakfast With Condi”, a new Pop/Rock song regarding National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, her critical role in the Bush Administration and the events of 9-11. The song will be available as a free download for the duration of the upcoming Democratic and Republican National Conventions. “Breakfast with Condi” is a satirical song that not only examines Ms. Rice’s demeanor while testifying at the 9-11 Commission but also develops a romantic relationship between Ms. Rice, a staunch Neo-Conservative and a left leaning “dove.” Asked why he chose Condoleezza Rice as a subject for a Pop/Rock song Mr. Thought replied, “Because of her charm and elusive nature she doesn’t get enough “credit” for the mess we are in as a nation; plus, the song needed a love interest and she’s got a better set of legs than Dick Cheney.” Mr. Thought chose to use lyrical humor and a Pop/Rock style as a vehicle for highlighting the serious content of the song. “It’s very easy, almost therapeutic for an artist, to play some aggressive music and rant about the indiscretions of the members of the Bush administration,” says Thought. “I thought it might be clever to package the same provocative lyrics in a non-threatening style of music so mainstream listeners could get the message.” Rad Thought is a founding member of The Radical Thought Resistance, a NYC based Hard Rock band whose debut CD entitled “Empowered Species” was released to critical acclaim in 2002. He is currently producing NYC area artists and writing more “serious” material for The Radical Thought Resistance’s sophomore CD tentatively entitled “Notes from the Underground.”

Lyrics
Looked in the mirror today Can't believe what was there A pot bellied alien With receding hair Oh my god, what happenned to me? Went to the local dive Saw a girl check me out Went up to talk to her That's when I heard her shout Oh my god, you look just like my dad Where did it all go wrong? This wasn't meant to be A Midlife Tragedy Please tell me it's a dream And not reality 'Cause I don't understand Who is this old man? Turned on the radio Heard my favorite song Wait, what the hell is this!? Something's wrong Oh my god, someone sampled Train In Vain Where did it all go wrong? This wasn't meant to be A Midlife Tragedy Please tell me it's a dream And not reality 'Cause I don't understand I Don't Understand I used to be the man I used to be the man Standing in the pouring rain Saw my ex-girlfriend She got three kids at home And a brand new 'Benz Oh my god, what happenned to me? Where did it all go wrong? This wasn't meant to be A Midlife Tragedy Please tell me it's a dream And not reality This can't be happenning Where did it all go wrong? This wasn't meant to be A Midlife Tragedy Please tell me it's a dream And not reality 'Cause I don't understand Who the hell is this old man?
