It's Time To Haunt Bush. New Protest Form. [View All]

As a lover of the music of New Orleans (in other words I listen to ALL American music,) I think it is up to us to haunt * with this music the rest of his life.

I do not mean until he exits office. Anything he had done up until this point wouldn't deserve this, but * has earned a lifetime hex with this one.

I'm calling out a real life curse with this one.

At Every appearance, protesters should play Cajun, Zydeco, Dixieland, Ragtime, Swamp Pop, Jump Blues or Hank Williams' sad stuff.

I want to see a New Orleans Walking Band playing the full out blow of "Nearer my god to thee" I want to hear them wail.

I want people to sing Professor Longhair's "Go to the Mardi Gras" and "Tipitina" in large groups.

I want to see a fiddle, accordion, and a washboard player show up outside his every dinner, playing "Good bye Joe me got to go me o my oh.....". Because that song is so obvious that even * would know it. What the freak are the SS going to do? Arrest someone wearing an accordion on live TV?

I want to hear people yipping him with cajun yells, like "Hey TWa'" and "Bein me Mamo!" (excuse the spelling).

Callback Blues are made for this. Listen to "Hey Bartender" to get an idea of how that works, put in your own lyrics.

Plus this has the added advantage of eliminating that tired old "hey, hey ho ho" chant crap. Let's get creative.

Everyone knows the lyrics to "I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill." Imagine a five voice do-wop perfoming that everywhere * appears.

Press those CD's people. Make copies for your frends.
Have everyone bring a boombox and have a group of them play the same Mix CD at the same time, if you have no band. A group of 50-150 could keep an entire protest moving to the same tune and if you CD player falls out of sync you can just go to the nearest person with a boombox and sync it back up at the next track on the compliation of New Orleans tunes. Around here between me, my girl, my friends, and a local university professor, there are terabytes of this music to choose from. Years of listening lists.

If you need help let me know. I can rig portable PA's, can find cheap instuments, and I'll play tuba/baritone horn for any band.
