"LOVE ME I'M A LIBERAL" by Phil Ochs and Daniel Cioper.
Influences
Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, John Lennon, Tim Buckley, Lee Perry, Phil Ochs, Isreal Vibration, The Coup, Eminem, The Lovers, Gandhi, Prince Far I, Ravi Shankar, Devendra Banhart, Hugo Chavez, Johnny Cash, Son House, Gogol Bordello, Peter Paul & Mary, Gil Scott-Heron.
Daniel makes folk music for the HERE and NOW. Classic but original style, new message. He has written around a hundred songs since starting in 2003 -- songs about change, growth, decay -- happy, angry, depressing, and uplifting. He uses words like sky, birds, revolution, world, mystical, fascist and Africa. While he can reach masses with his simple, though cryptic, language, his voice and style may be an acquired taste, so give him a chance. = )
His band(s), Castro's Beard, and The Lovers, can be seen at venues around Austin and who knows where else!

SPAMED! Can you ever forgive me? If so, please vote for me!
I am in Round Two of The TRCoA Unsigned Artist Competition. Help me get to Round Three by clicking my face and voting for me!
If I’m in the top 4 I get to play a showcase for record executives and could win 100 free hours in the studio.
If I were selected, it would really help me rock some faces off, please take a second and vote.
Thanks!

Damn. Missed it. I'm writing from the public library. You have to make reservations to use the computers! Sucks being poor. I'm walking across the street to Jorge's for a drink after this. Sucks being an alcoholic.
:#) .. well No! ... not really, though i'm at this time trying to think around the very subject ...
Remembering Bush Snr.. was the first to bring the NWO into our sight, it's a valid name still, though most will not "get it" .. so not sure just yet ... maybe just drop the bush bit ..
Hope all's well, and that you find hope in the fact that Americans are at least wanting change .. how far this goes the future will tell, meanwhile, onwards & upwards ..
