 I think FMIC is just as capable as Henry J when it comes to this sort of "thing"..........  ;)

I couldn't find the article, but I got sidetracked by this graphic at the top of the page. Listened to a clip of the "featured" track and it's pretty forthright.

Simply pathetic! 

How's about just writing a fat check to a fund for all of the widows and ophans of the fire fighters and police that went into the buildings to save others?

Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side.

Not to derail, but -Funny story about these guys - my kids love 'em.  My 18 year old asked if he and his bandmates could take my 12 year old son to see Psychostick here in Raleigh a couple months back.
They came back with all sorts of great stories - at one time, the singer for P-stick had my 12 year old on his shoulders and they waded through the crowd.  The band also invited them all backstage and hung out for a while - they signed all sorts of crap and gave my youngest a signed setlist and drumsticks - all sortsa cool vibes from this band.  I can't listen to their music (reminds me of Butthole Surfers and SOAD kinda moshed together), but I appreciate the fact that they have fun at  their shows.

I've become so cynical that I just expect this type of thing :rolleyes:. I know it's going to happen, I only wonder who will be the first.

Check the Gibson site and click on news. You'll find some black LPs with a NY-skyline on it, including the Twin Towers.

Yeah....as insulting as the Gibson Hurricane Katrina guitar. I almost bought one at the time, just to drive to Nashville and beat Henry J. over the head with it.
