War Pigs
News Item: Bush Orders 20,000 More Troops to Iraq
Lately I've had the song "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath stuck in my head. Although written in 1971 as a protest against the Vietnam War, the lyrics of this heavy metal political protest seem as applicable now as ever.
Listen to "War Pigs" for yourself and tell me that Ozzy isn't singing about Bush and Cheney instead of Nixon and Kissinger.
And as an added bonus, in case you can't get enough of that song, here is a video of the Dresden Dolls performing an amazing cover of "War Pigs". They take a different approach than Black Sabbath, but the message is the same.

Politicians hide themselves away.
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor.

WHY did I have a feeling you were going to talk about yesterday's news conference? Why...why? Hmmmmmm....
One of the bigger Clear Channel rock stations in Atlanta, 96 Rock, put War Pigs in heavy rotation at the outset of this Travesty of a Sham.
I still am not sure if the program manager was being a sly rebel, or whether they were just THAT STUPID. Either way, it's a rockin' tune and very apropos these days.
