A rowdy bag of swamp-rock anthems, bar-band blues, roadhouse boogies, and some topical rabble-rousers.

A Word About The Demonstrators

The demonstrators are a songwriter's-choice studio band featuring internationally-known roots music artists led by Marty Rifkin (Bruce Springsteen's go-to guy for pedal steel and dobro) with Teresa James, Bob Malone, Roy Zimmerman, James Intveld, and John "Juke" Logan.

What is Live Verse? It's conversational, not existential. It's down-to-earth, not other-worldly. And it's underdog poetry. It has a hard-earned view of the world from the bottom up.


When politics goes from bad to verse.

YES WE CAN!

I thought I was anti-American,
And I felt really bad about that,
It's true I'd been palling around with terrorists,
Down at the Laundromat.

I was guilty of logic and Liberalism,
Some have said that was a crime,
But me and Obama we rose above it,
And left the stone-throwers behind.

BY POPULAR DEMAND A BOOK OF LIVE VERSE WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 2009. STAY TUNED.
