For anyone who needs a musical kick in the pants to help combat the dreadful inertia being induced by King George the Worst and his court of Crusty Cronies ...this three-song EP is for you.
Songwriting ace, Dick Siegel, puts George W. and his fellow misadventurers through the mill on the rip-roaring, rocking title track "Fighting for King George". It'll make you feel like doing a victory dance.
From "Fighting for King George":
"now King George is in his armor
doing a cowboy dance
singing 'take the statue of liberty
and ship it back to France'
and we read our newspapers
chew the daily lies
go to sleep with nightmares
wake up and close our eyes
fighting for King George
fighting for King George "
From "My Sweet America":
"wasn't she so good
wasn't she so beautiful
her millions sing to hear their freedom ring
now I hear her name
used to whip and blame the world
America they've come to drag you down"
From "Gentle Fire":
"gentle fire, tenderness
beauty is the song of love
always to remind us of
all that love has won"

He does for the new millennium what Dylan did for the sixties.
author:
Proves that even though we left tyranny and England and now live freely in America, we still labor under a King , albeit a different one. Incredeable insight into the political nightmare we all must survive daily. Thanks for turning on the light.

Keep it in the car and give yourself a jolt every morning!
author: Mary Anne Lyman
In times that feel hopeless to me, this CD puts into words and music the way I feel about current events and America in general. In that way, it helps me to feel connected, and not quite so helpless. Love the last tune, quieting down to a song about what love can do. I'll have this CD worn out in no time!

A zeitgiest snapshot wrapped in great music and sharp lyrics.
author: Mark
As he has done for years, Dick Siegel weaves his keen wit and humor together with a social conscience, great lyrics, and snappy musicianship. The songs on Fighting for King George range from a scathing historically accurate depiction of our current quagmire to the emotions it evokes in our hearts and in our sense of patriotism.
