If you attended the Saturday Night Beach Party Blowout during DemocracyFest 2006, you may or may not have known that the guy behind the scenes who put that show together was long-time DFA'er and San Diego for Democracy's own, Charlie Imes.   What many people in his political/activist circles didn't know was that Charlie has also been a singer/songwriter himself for the past 20+ years. 

Last summer, Charlie wrote a song called Worst Presnaent Ever (yes, the misspelling is on purpose) and he is releasing it on his new CD, On An Island.  Charlie called on world class impressionist James Adomian to play the part of Bush on the song, just as you may have seen him do many times in sketches on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” on CBS.  The result is a song that delivers its message with some humor and a strong, catchy melody.  It's been gaining a very positive response and some great pre-release buzz.

If I may ask a favor, I'd like you to do two things. 

First, check out the song.  Go to http://www.myspace.com/crimesofmusic and listen to Worst Presnadent Ever.  It's the second song on the site. Then, if you do like it and feel the song speaks to your heart and mind...

... then please tell friends.  Request it on your favorite progressive talk radio shows, or anywhere else you think might play it.  In the next week, A.L.E. Productions will be sending out CD singles of Worst Presnaent Ever to every progressive talk show host and radio station it can find.  They can use your help identifying them too.  Not people like Mike Malloy, Thom Hartman, Randi Rhodes, Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz and the usual syndicated big names because these are already on the list.
