Follow on Google News | George Bush Sings - Truth Spoken In “Money Trumps Peace”George Bush Sings Vocals On Jon Hartmann's Newest Funk/Rock/Reggae Outing
By: Stacey Kumagai/Media Monster Communications, Inc. “When I heard the phrase "Money Trumps Peace" I was stunned by the irony of its use. The President was attempting to explain why European governments were hesitant to join him in his efforts to occupy Iraq. He accused them of being more concerned with the economic alliances maintained with Iran and Syria, and that those interests trumped his vision for a more unified allied attack. The current occupant of the White House is certainly not the only presidential perpetrator in our history. Without exception, the executive branch of our republic has always allowed one industry in particular to dictate the time and place of our wars of choice, those adventures where access to a certain resource has demanded the spilling of American blood. One nation, under oil. George Bush Sings is an audio outing for those of us who happen to notice that the emperor's suit hides nothing. It was my thinking that if the Office of the President had truly become a theatre of the absurd, where words had no meaning, then it was time to arrange the order of the President's words so that they may better reflect the truth” states Hartmann. Hartmann is currently venting by way of blogging on his Myspace page www.myspace.com/ “The technique or methodology of this project is to find audio snippets of OUR GREAT LEADER and utilize the magic of modern music software to cut, splice, dice, shred, mangle and frappe the words until they begin to resemble the truth. It's hard to know the real intelligence level of the President because he is so inconsistent in his thoughts and speech. A Connecticut- Hartmann’s last album, “Pacific Electric,” pays tribute to Los Angeles’ long-lost Pacific Electric Railway and Hartmann’s thoughts of energy, policy and interest of expanding rail service between and inside cities to promote healthier air and trying to understand the removal of the Pacific Electric Railway. His previous albums, “3 if By Air” and “The 10th House” both featured CD cover graphics which reflect Hartmann’s passionate visual statement about the fragile nature of the orb we populate. He feels fossil fuels have no place in our future. “If we continue to burn them at the current rate, two things will happen as sure as night follows day.....our economy will be disrupted beyond repair, and our planet, likewise, may be damaged sufficiently to induce global catastrophe,” Hartmann is a songwriter, musician, producer, music publisher and record label executive whose career has encompassed touring the world. From his first overseas gig in Southeast Asia to entertain soldiers for the USO, to performing with Ike & Tina Turner in Germany with the Rolling Stones as audience spectators. Jon was signed as a writer in 1975 for Peacock Music, where he and Jimmy Whitney co-wrote "Goodness Knows," recorded that year by Michael Jackson. He’s currently producing his own works and others elaborating on his environmental beliefs as an activist and musical artist on his own independent label, Jon Hartmann Records.
