Popularity

In November 2005, USA Today/Gallup polls placed President Bush's approval rating in the lower 40's. Then, in late November, we released the Morality Rock CD and Bush's approval ratings began to plunge. In April, our song Marijuana (Bush's pro-pot reggae anthem) was featured on the Dr. Demento Show. Shortly thereafter, Bushs approval ratings hit an all time low, at 31 percent.

Its every rockers dream to have this sort of impact on national public opinion. Ive been high for months, perpetually donning a sardonic smile. It never crossed my mind that maybe George W. Bush has feelings.

Today, I experienced an awakening. I now recognize how selfish Ive been, and how wrong it is for me to have rejoiced in the suffering of others. My bad karma has caught up to me.

My epiphany occurred upon created a myspace account (myspace.com/moralityrock). After entering a profile, uploading some songs, and mucking with the style sheet, I preceded to sample my creation. The first thing I noticed on my home page, featured prominently for all to see. was this:

Bring back painful long-repressed childhood memories for any of you? It does for me.

Please accept my apologies, Mr. President, for rejoicing in your suffering. I think about 20 percent or so of Americans still like you. That's 59 million people. Shit, there isn't anyone on myspace.com who has that many friends.
