Just heard Fred Schneider of the B52's bad mouth Bush a couple of times...

Fred Schneider doesn't seem to have any love for Bush as evidenced in this article...

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE0D91030F933A25751C0A966958260&sec=&spon=

Was listening to First Wave on Dish Network while doing other things, and to my surprise, they had Fred Schneider who was guest dj'ing on that classic alternative music channel get his digs in at Bush at the end of his set.

He first introduced The Bongo's "Burning Bush" as follows:

(Go Go's song finishing up)...
Alright! My friend Richard Barone and the other guys in the Bongos are promoting their rerelease... Actually they are releasing all of their LP's on CD in order, and they're promoting their first one, and uh, and that's what this album, this song is, "Burning Bush"... "Burning Bush in effigy"... Uh no, it's not that. It's just "Burning Bush"... Here's the Bongos on party of the bands!...

(Bongos play "Burning Bush")

...

(Another song)

Huh... Oh, It's so sad! I have to go! And I must leave you with the best music I can find, and the highest quality and the most intellectual, I'm, like George Bush, I'm an intellectual... So, once again, here's Southern Culture on the Skids! This goes out to all of you! And please email me at fredschneider@sirius-radio.com. This goes out to you! Here's "Chicken Shit Farmer"!

(Southern Culture on the Skids plays "Chicken Shit Farmer"!

NICE FRED! I'll have to listen you guest DJing more often. Maybe we can use your help to getting back another left talk channel on Sirius!

1. Not really relevant, but
saw Southern Culture on the Skids in Cleveland a while back at a small bar by the university. Great fun.
