The Revolution Starts ...Now

I realise that Steve Earle is not strictly Forest-related, but he does have a fine lookin' garden shed, he eats a lot of bananas on tour, now he 's healthy, and he keeps pet fish (two piranhas, called Ronnie and George). Not all of this is true.

Anyway, his new album is out - The Revolution Starts ... Now, and a fine body of work it is too, perfectly timed for the upcoming US elections and the ongoing misguided expansion of the American Empire by that idiot George Bush.

And how are we supposed to take seriously a country which elects as Governor of California, the sixth or seventh largest economy in the world, a guy who made his name running around in crap films blowing people away, and mumbling in some sort of central european-american accent. At least Tony Blair speaks proper. Even if we now hate his lies and duplicity, and loath the New Labour Project.

I'm guessing that if Idiot Bush gets in again, and if we're all still here by 2008, then Hilary Clinton might be up against Arnie for the Presidency, in 2008. Now that would be funny!
