"What do you think of Tony Blair?"

Blair is a good man with strong convictions. But I must say the Jury is out until we find out if he listens to satch.

BTW do you listen to Greg Howe? I was turned on to him by my uncle. This guy is amazing. Definitely G3 promise there.

DammMissNamm: I disagree. Blair is a tool. He is using America to build up his armed forces. Blair, a man of strong conviction? What drugs are you on? I believe, in the words of my favorite candidate (John Kerry) that you have made a "colossal error of judgement." Just because I dont like Blair, doesnt mean I badmouth the Brits. I hope you are not one of those people writing to Fox News bitchin about how the Brits should stay away from American politics. They have the full right to have an opinion.

You believe in freedom, but you will not let them exercise their freedom? And if you are an able bodied person and want those bastard terrorists to "bring it on!," enlist in the army. Quit acting like you care so much when your chicken ass does not have the balls to practice what you preach to others.

Well put. You are obviously educated, articulate, yet misguided.

"Because Israel was the only US ally that Saddam could reach out and touch"

So you agree desperate times call for desperate measures, And Sadamm showed a willingness to hurt the US or her Allies. I don't get it man you said earlier " I do not believe Saddam was ever a threat to the US, including Desert Storm"

Are you working with the Kerry campaign?

"Saddam could not, in 1991 or 2003, reach us."

And thanks to Mr. Bush he won't be able to reach us in the future either.

"Did we dictate to the CCCP?"

Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? I believe Mr. Kennedy was very effective in telling the Russian boys to sit down and shut up.

"Rights are inherent, and are not a measure of relative strength, which seems to be the only possible application of the right you claim to exist."

Only the strong survive. You have to survive to have rights. Just ask Saddam.

"but how long do you think one will survive if he constantly tries to rule over others and aggress their persons and properties? It won't be long before those over whom he tries to lord himself overthrow him whether in unison or via the death of 1,000 cuts. Such is the nature of empire"

This one really made me shake my head. I believe Afghanistan is still Afghanistan, only with elections now. I believe Iraq is still Iraq, only with elections to come.

WITH THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE COMES THE BURDEN OF DECISION.

Decisiveness (Kerry could go either way on that issue)

We are not the roman or English empire. We are the USA land of the free and the home of the Satch fans!

all - howdy! just answering a few recent posts from folks, but also wanted to spread the word of an act of theivery that affected some friends of mine and their gear. the guys in camper van beethoven (and cracker) got ripped off in montreal, canada yesterday. if you live in the area or check out used guitars and gear online, please take a moment to read the list of gear on this page and keep an eye out for it! there's even a reward... http://www.campervanbeethoven.com/gearstolen/

The Bob - i was informed a while ago that some cell phone carriers do have some ringtones of joe's stuff, but the only info i was given is that you need to check with your local carrier to find out. so, that's the best i can do to help you out!

jblaze1 - i was going to add that feature ("member since xx/xx/xx") but because that info wasn't original stored i didn't want to do it since it'd look like everyone was there starting the same date. now that it's been a little bit, i might add it back in. it would be nice to predate people who've been around a long time, but i'm not sure of a way to validate people's claims :}

megaboyd - the 2nd warfield date will only show up if the first one sells out or is close to selling out. it hasn't been cancelled, but isn't officially on, but is on hold :}

hi joe! unfortunately you never drop by in portugal when in europe! just for the record we're here right next to spain(yuck)! you still have lots of fans here but most of them (like me) don't have the money to go to paris to watch you (believe me, i've tried)! hope you remind us...

jazzzzzzy, Zinc, and whoever else in Chicago. I'll see you all in a bit. I'll be wearing blue and gray with a blue and gray hat hat. I stick out, trust me. I hope to see you all up there; If you see me holler.

Joe: Rip It Up tonight!!!!!!!

I concede in the political arena, it's cocktail time.

On a lighter note, do any of you listen to Greg Howe? I was just turned on to him and he is amazing. Check out

Thank you for sharing your insite. No insult intended in the Kerry campaign statement in my post (just another stab at humor). As for the fbomb, I always thought one must remain humble to stay objective.

jazzy - wow.. that website is just so informative and educational.. very cool indeed... I forwarded the link to me mum... lol..

I think someone's been pulling your plonker.... lol...

mowlie - wow... stunning... that's a nice thing to know... thanx....
I don't know about the playing being 'flawless' though... lol...
I think it's good enough to deliver the vibe.. but then.. that's good enough for me.. I've never really considered myself as a technical player.. I'm more of a vibes guy..
the really tricky part in the composition was trying to depict the stories via instruments.. but then.. that sort of stuff allows for more interesting vibes to lay down, wider compositional scope and presents some interesting compositional hurdles to overcome.. such key, tempo and dynamic changes.. do the changes gradually evolve [so the riff sneaks up on yer].. or is it in your face..
anyway.. it's much more fun than writing "boy meets girl"
unless of course boy has girl bent over the bath and is beating her to death with a jerry can as he does her up the hoop...

I did wonder about that rig.. a bit of a hammer to crack a nut... lol..
personally I'd have backed off on the 'presence' to soften the tone a little given the musical setting..
did I mention that when I was there?.. I can't remember.. but I do remember thinking it as I was walking to the pub..

so now you're inspired eh?... lol.. you off to write tracks about nutters getting nuttier... lol.. or do I have that angle well covered... lmao..

and obviously no one replied to it... lol..

who the fuck??.... lmao...

and then you're proved wrong... lmao...

so when are you next playing live.... lmao..

I wanna fuck it up in the mosh pit with Christina...
usual blood and snot stuff... lol...

it's not bringing politics into t2j I object to..
it's bringing politics into bush... lol..

it's a little thin to start a war based on "known evidence" of WMDs that are STILL to be found, then you get the
