If you listen to Thursday’s show, you know that Boom and I are pretty much against all things political that try to bully or demean on party or another.
We had a song on the show for Today (Thursday) that rips on President Bush. We try to stay out of the political spectrum, but this song kind of brought us into it. We do believe in playing all Unisgned Music that gets submitted to us, even the political ones (regardless of how we feel).
For some reason we decided to speak up tonight, it wasn’t because of the song’s musical value (it was actually really good for a rough mix) but it was for the fact we hate bullies (political or otherwise).
On that note, Thursday’s show, turned into one big tangent by Boomtown and myself to state that we hate things like that. It’s a slippery slope, if you record a diss song on someone who will not/cannot defend themselves you better make damn sure it’s a hot track or you should be dissed. Anyone can pick on a target that won’t diss you back (and frankly, that is exactly what a bully is).
So…you guys can cleary see that political songs get under our skin…while I’m sure there are a lot of people who appreciate what they are and what they stand for, we don’t. But we played the song anyway because clearly there is a group that makes, and appreciates, this type of music.
What does this all mean to us? Not a whole lot. We hate it, and liked the musical value, we played it, we respect the musical aspects of it all but hate the message. Everyone should be entitled to their opinion without having some outside force step in and say they are wrong (puff daddy?). It’s with this in mind that I present to you CNN.com’s list of where the different political candidates stand on each issue. (Honestly, it’s hard for us to disrespect a diss song if that’s truely how they feel, even if we feel like that type of music is just wrong, it’s the honest opinion of the artist).
Remember as you are reading this list, it matters who you agree with not who your friends agree with. This isn’t an election based on sex, race, religion, or anything even like that! This should be an election based on what you think, and who fits best with your opinions of the world!
So with that in mind, I present to you CNN.com’s list of where the candidates stand on each issue:

Look it over, and decide. Remember, it’s OK to keep your vote to yourself, heck it’s probably even best. It’s those who are the loudest who are probably the least sure of what they believe!
Appreciate the song for what it is, a good if not great musical track, but don’t let the message influence how you feel about our current president, or next president.
Without supporting either guy, we expect a good race!
The Nooge (for Boomer!) signing off!
