The political theme, and lines like “we are patriotic by design,” were surely rooted in the first term of George W. Bush. It was 2002; after all. This was a demo and I played many of the instruments myself, but Mike Squires pitched in with bass and lead guitar.
Bar of the Gods
During the year I was making a lot of this music, I also spent a lot of time at this bar. They also hosted my video show every month. So I wrote them a theme song. Like Cheers. Just like Cheers.
