I was at my warehouse and some of these lyrics came to mind.  I called my wife and asked her to write them down because I had my hands full and would lose them at work.  I came home and wrote this song in about an hour.  I recorded the tracks (4) and Mark Cline mixed them.  It really does reflect my feelings on the media as it is today.  So, I won't be remixing this but appreciate comments on the song.  Thanks in advance, good or bad.  Oh, I posted this about 4 years ago, I think.

Bravo Warren.  Being a big fan of songs that have something to say I really loved this one, especially being as the media is also a pet peeve of mine.  Thanks for giving them a proper lampooning.  Nice job on the mix by Mark too.  Loved the harmonies.

 Great story teller style on this. I share your opinion about 24 hour news channels. Love the instrumentation, the Blues harp was a great choice.

Listening on Buds so keep that in mind. I may pull that harp back a bit, on my buds it seems a little more present than the vocals. 

I love the media, Ethernet, fiber, "the air interface?" All really cool types of media. At least we still have MSNBC (Thank GOD!) That's where I go when I want straight shooting :-)  That Rachel Maddow has never lied to me, she always tells it like it is ;-)

This could very easily have been John Prine instead of the pugtones!

I enjoyed your song Warren and agree with the sentiments...  All you hear anymore are anti-socialist right wing demagogic talking points! A spending problem? A SPENDING PROBLEM!!?? LOL What are these people smoking! We have a Fairness problem! And a problem with the unbridled greed of the 1%!! 

(ahh please keep in mind that I am known sometimes for my sarcasm and this may be one of those times.) I love the NY Times! Or do I...

I'll bet that Robby never faked a single sarcasm. 


Love your song, Warren. Nice job on the mix, Mark.

The media is what it is... propaganda is more subtle and effective than ever... Journalism is dead as Hank Williams... 
I love the song... and I love the delivery...  
Great work Warren... good job on the mix Mark...

I agree totally with the sentiment Warren.  I rarely watch the mainstream news anymore.

This is Great.  The recording and mix are wonderful: Very "CLEAN" and open, with a vibrancy that this sort of track needs.

Your voice is sounding in great form Warren.

Great job guys. :-)

Get some reverb on that harmonica and send it further back in the mix...... you have some plosions at around 1:15 and again at 1:40. Cool work Warren and Pugites.
