Karl Rove is a dick. He also wrote a book called "Courage and Consequence" that is full of lies, distortions and other predicitability.
We put together a rock compilation called "Karl Rove: Courage and Consequence - Unabridged Audio", in all of its aggressively righteous indignation, that consists of a bunch of songs about, or to him and how awful he was and continues to be for America. For the low price of $20, you can help in this historic bumout, AND get a great comp record in the process.
You can, and should buy a copy, here's why:
So many times we are asked by candidates and organizations to give money for this ad or this reason. Many of them worthy. Man, it seems like the only way some people want to communicate is when they need money. Or to paraphrase John Fogerty from the great CCR: "When you ask, 'how much should we give?' the only answer is more, more, more."
This is different, in this case your money doesn't go to buy ads, it doesn't go to consultants. It goes to a bunch of working class rock 'n rollers trying to replace guitar strings and keep a roof over their head.
This is a way to excercise the purchasing power of your dollar and let Rove know we have NOT forgotten and will not give him a pass.
Karl Rove: Courage and Consequence
yes, it's $20.
But that includes shipping to anywhere in the US (and a start on Int'' shipping), and not only are you not funding horrible record companies that never pay the artists. It is exactly the opposite, 100% of the proceeds past breaking even go to the hard working risk taking independent artists themselves. And we're only a few hundred away from breaking even.
Kind of amazing when you consider that almost the entire thing was funded by donations and pre-orders.
Thus far every front pager on this site, and others, has mostly ignored this project, but that didn't stop us from hitting the front page when a brave fan confronted Rove himself with the record.
I see him scanning the back he is reading it and he mouths the word "biggest asshole" and looks down and reads outloud 'work of satire'
We've accomplished quite a bit, with almost zero resources.
But the problem with actually CREATING something is just that.. it costs money.
We aren't MoveOn, we aren't Michael Moore, hell, we aren't even Code Pink...
But please, if you like the idea of this project and want to see more like it. Don't just hit the "tip jar", recommend this diary. Forward the site to a friend, and for goodness sakes, be a part of history, show some support and drop the $20 to help us bum out Karl Rove. Because unlike a candidate that may or may not be elected and then completely let us down, you will get a tangible, physical record that stands quite well on it's own, but also has the plus of bumming Karl Rove out.
not designed to make a buck, but to prove a point.
