Outstanding message to every politician of every political race regardless of what side of middle you stand on. I abhor political messages from musicians (Roger Waters, Grammy's....) because of their agenda, keep that garbage to yourself!
This one is tolerable and the song is rather catchy...and yes he makes sense

One of the most blatantly political songs I've ever heard is Neil Young's "Let's Impeach the President", although I'll spare you by not posting it here.

I saw this via the Jon Anderson facebook group I'm in. It was very controversial over there. Believe it or not some Jon/Yes fans are very conservative and are T*#@p supporters.
Anyway, I enjoyed it. I thought it was very powerful. Apparently it was recorded in 2012 or something.

Conservatives? I guess that's because Jon/Yes fans were hippies who turned into yuppies in the 70s!

Yeah, but that's no excuse. Ok, I'll shut up now since this isn't a political thread.

oh, no harm done. We were just discussing Jon/Yes fans. But I suppose we better stop.

How ironic that Jon Freaking Anderson of Yes is the angriest voice of protest I've heard.

As a AFlowerKingCrimson said he's making up for Johnny Rotten going super conservative.

Well, I didn't actually say that(someone else did)but it's true. John Lydon a few years ago after a performance urged the audience not to vote for a certain someone and now he is supporting that certain someone(hint this someone is often compared to a certain citrus fruit).

I suppose it's not too lucrative being a former punk icon.

In the Louder article, Anderson says he wrote the song initially after Sandy Hook, which was in December of 2012. Not sure if he recorded it then too. I am curious as to who played on it. Sounds like it could be Rabin on guitars at the end.

That's true but the video itself could have been made in 2016 or 2020. Also, the lyrics don't actually mention any politicians by name. Anyway, this must be the only Jon Anderson song to feature the f bomb.

Unless there's some record I've missed out, this is the best song I've heard from Yes or any Yes member.
Go Screw Yourself for Christmas number one!
