Review of George Bush Is Dead

This is a catchy little tune with a message. Reminds me of the Beatles having fun and un-afraid to say whatever they choose. This song grabs you along for the ride after the first chorus and even though it's just for fun, gives you a feeling of hopefull optimism. I'll play this one again, whenever I feel like 2008 is still too far away, and I need some reassurance.....that indeed, all things must pass!
Great ending with the sparse clapping. Or, I could just give it a one word review....."Cool."
