Jim's Big Ego - "Asshole" - 4th time is a charm?

[paineinthearse]

Broken out from symbolman's "TBTM Fundraiser "Rove's War" Plamegate Chronology 2 DVD film ready to ship" thread.

:rant:

You and I both know how it feels to constatantly :banghead:

May I hijack your thread to give an example?

There is a Boston-based band named JIM'S BIG EGO. Their anti-bushco song "Asshole" was set to a video montage. I posted it to GEN, it died with zero views. I posted it again the next day with same results. I posted it to the Massachusetts forum with same results.

:argh:

Here are the links, should you wish to give it a view.

General forum - Video - Jim's Big Ego: "Asshole" - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=4837746 - view this one to see links to their tour schedule and other band info.

In case you missed it the first three times.....

Asshole

From They're Everywhere! (cc) Some rights reserved 2003 Jim Infantino

I've been bashed and battered
and bruised and beaten
I've been abused, misused
and I've been mistreated
I've been up and down
and still I feel
you're an asshole.

And I've looked at it from your side
and I've looked at it from mine
and I know you had a hard time
when you were only 9
but that was long ago
and now there's just now denying
that you're an asshole...

and You're an asshole
you're an asshole
yeah yeah yeah yeah
you're an asshole.

na na na na na
na na na na na
na na na na na na
na na na na na
na na na
na na na na na
you're an asshole

Yeah You're an asshole
you're an asshole
yeah yeah yeah yeah
you're an asshole.

and I know there are those people
who say they never are to blame
and that's not my modus operandi
I don't play that game
and then there are some people
who claim the sun shines out their behind
and it's oh so hard
to get them to change their mind
and I've given up trying

It's a valuable muscle
near the base of the spine
and I know I'd be sorry if i ever lost mine
but it stinks when you're always full of shit
all the time
cause you're an asshole

and You're an asshole
you're an asshole
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
you're an asshole.

1. I remember them, they did that song "stress" in the 90's

Damn that was a catchy tune.

2. You've got a reply

I clicked on the link and looked at what I could without loading plugins. I'm at work, and don't want to add stuff to the computer.

3. this video has been around for a long time on the 'net....

so I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here. I recall seeing it and sharing it widely during the campaign. Perhaps the threads were ignored because people knew about it already? Can you clarify a littl what you are asking?

4. The video was new to me, and with 100+ new members per day

I'm sure it is new to many others. And living near Boston, I wanted to give the band some support as they head into the studio and hit the road.

See symbolman's post for his thoughts about posts sinking into the archives.

5. this is GREAT stuff

I love their work, been a fan for a long time!

There's never enough protest music to go around, hope they are back in the studio garrotting ROVE at this very moment!

Thanks for the link!

same sentence and tuned in because I was sure it was a thread about my ex. :loveya:
