I always pegged you as more of a Dixie Chicks/Kanye West sort of guy, Allah.

Them’s fightin’ words.

I realize I’m not the one you were talking to, but I’m just saying.

Five for Fighting is awesome! If you don’t have any of their CDs yet, you should get one…very good listening.

Five for Fighting’s latest CD has some tracks that seem to favor the conservative mindset. The first track is callled “Freedom Never Cries”:

I never loved the soldier until there was a war
Or thought about tomorrow
’til my baby hit the floor
I only talk to God when somebody’s about to die
I Never cherished Freedom

Freedom never cries.

I’m not a huge fan of Five for Fighting; I like “Superman” like everyone else, but the poignant piano ballads one after another can get to be a drag.

I love John Ondrasik, even if I can’t say his name. Heh. I like the 100 years song, and superman, too, but some of his stuff is just plain hilarious.

Plus, he’s mensch enough to play Gitmo, where his performance of “100 Years” should take on a delightfully comic overtone.

Heh.

I only like two of his songs, but thought it was a good interview. Still not clear on what the point of the video site is, but it sounds interesting enough I suppose.
