Remembering the Declaration of Human Rights 12-11-04

In 1948,after World War II, a bunch of people who thought the world needed basic rights written down, got together and did just that. The local group asked me to sing a couple songs at the celebration of the anniversary.

Yeah, I'm out here singin'

cause I got something to say.
Bring on K-9! (gig at McCarthy's)

The gig on November 27, 2004 gave Bruce a chance to reflect on his statement of purpose as a "political folk singer". Even now, the label seems odd but appropriate. I want to talk about wars and stuff. in kind of a smarmy way. and so, I do.

A long time ago, I started writing social and political commentary songs since. (I was first "inspired" by a threat to re-institute the draft in 1979.)

I attempt humor in most of my songs and I succeed some of the time.

'Bops and Gum' is a song from the album. Give it a listen by clicking on the title.

The CD (due out in 2005) is tentatively titled "Smarmy Political Pop, Girlsongs, and Pre-Adolescent Punk".
