Howie can't believe what's happened over the last eight years (the Bush-Cheney Era) and he asked some of his very best friends to help him create this retrospective CD. This is the first CD he's produced and the main reason why it's coming out is to give the hundreds of thousands or millions of people throughout the world a therapeutic way to vent their anger and frustration about what's happened. There's a 'world of hurt' that should never have happened and many very patriotic Americans regret immensely what their government did during the Bush-Cheney years.
Many Iragi and American families have been destroyed, lost family and friends or had to radically change their lives to cope with the irresponsible and, at times, idiotic foreign pollicy and war making decisions of George Bush and Dick Cheney. If just one person who's been hurt finds solace or feels better after singing along with the music, hand jiving or just plain 'getting the anger out' somehow, the significant team effort to bring this musical experience to the world will have been worth it. To provide 'Music Therapy for a Wounded World' is the intent of the peace loving group of singers and musicians who collaborated on this project.
The inspiration for this group of songs came to Howie but it became music in the wonderfully skillful hands of Randy and his world-class SquamSound Studio musician network of percussionists, singers and, in particular, Mister Rourke, the DJ who made three of the cuts 'come alive' with great humor and insight. Many, many thanks to all who helped to create the CD and to all who purchase it. The energy behind every aspect of it's creation was to provide healing and transformation to everyone who listens. We hope you enjoy this unique and historically accurate retrospective on one of the darkest periods in the history of the United States of America.
