Who says musicians don't get political anymore?
I just picked up the new CD by Jamiroquai, the British dance music act whose biggest U.S. hit was "Virtual Insanity," and was reading through the thank yous at the end of the CD credits. The last one reads, "I would not like to thank George W. Bush, who continues to mess up our world."

It made an already good CD that much better!

:yourock: :headbang:

2. It's pretty standard Jamiroquai...
very neo-disco, upbeat dance numbers, but they're all very good. (Don't) Give Hate a Chance and Time Won't Wait are great dance songs.

3. Jamiroquai? musicians?
Note to Jay Kay: When they say it's a five-album contract, they meant different music each time, schmucko :eyes:

4. Check out Frank Zappa
Broadway the Hardway

Big slam on Reagan/Bush, Nixon, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggert, Jim and Tammy Baker, etc.

I can only imagine what Frank would be thinking if he were here to witness the mess we are in today.

Cheers
