Freedom lovin' bread and circuses

You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department: according to a US Defense Department news release issued on Tuesday, 9 August, this coming 11 September will be the first-ever "America Supports You Freedom Walk".
Pentagon-organized, the so-called freedom walk is 'to remember the victims of 9/11, to honor U.S. troops and veterans, and to highlight the value of freedom.'
Plus, freedom lovers, there'll be a concert by country singer Clint Black. Mp3 of Clint Black singing his freedom-lovin' I Raq and Roll.
Oh, wait. One of the media co-sponsors of the 'Freedom Walk', Washington Post, has pulled out.
No? Well, on the other side of the highway is an mp3 of I'm Taking My Country Back by the Honky Tonkers For Truth. Can't help you with that new Rolling Stones tune Sweet Neo Con, though. Have to wait for the cd release on 6 September, unless the tune leaks out before then...
Mind you, the BBC Worldservice has already played a couple of short clips from three of the songs on the new album. I think they said those three are already up at iTunes? As appetizers, they were actually quite tasty.
Old joke: what happens if you play a country & western song backwards? You git yor truck back, yor dog back, yor woman back... Told you it was old.
