In the wake of the killings of the Israeli diplomats in Washington, DC, and the bizarre press reports about antisemitism, I wrote this song. This is the version of it that will be on the upcoming album.

As much of the US military heads in the direction of Iran, the fighters, bombers & destroyers are all armed with missiles made by 5 US corporations, otherwise known as the War Machine. Powerful remix from Chet and Laura, destined for the upcoming album.

In the great city of Sydney, AUSTRALIA on July 11th we'll be playing at one of the coolest community centers on the planet, Addison Road, for what will probably be our biggest, most enthusiastic, and most international audience on the tour.
One interpretation of Huckabee's message to Trump, paired with Trump's message to Tehran, along with movements of the US military, etc., is Trump plans to use a nuclear weapon, and justify it by saying he's saved US lives by making Iran surrender unconditionally this way.
We've got some wonderful gigs in AUSTRALIA next month. First Newcastle, then Sydney, Katoomba, Canberra, & Brisbane. Free dates for last-minute house concerts in between Newcastle and Brisbane if anyone is inclined to host one! Drop me a line.
In the most recent massacre on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation killing field, as people in the Americas were going to bed last night and dawn was coming in Gaza, 70 people killed and over 200 shot by live fire from Israel, while waiting for food.

I got the song's refrain from a bumper sticker, back in 2003. This filmmaker got the title of his documentary from the song. I love the folk process. The documentary looks great.

Throughout 2024 and early 2025, in between writing songs and essays, touring and raising kids, a side project has been another memoir. I recently declared it finished, and recorded the whole thing.
