Yes, it's been quite a few years. I'll defnitley check it out.
It's got both the best old lady related melee and best use of French bread as a weapon.

yeah, i used to love the beasties; i have to say though that i really hated that lame political anti-war rap they put on their site a year or so ago. Politics aside, the song just seemed too, i don't know, thrown together.

Yeah, it was sub-sub-par (especially compared to Zach de la Rocha and DJ Shadow's protest song) but it did feature the advice to Bush that "you and Saddam should kick it like back in the day, with the cocaine and Courvoisier," which made me laugh when I heard it.

Politics always seems to mess up everything.

yeah, they do. course, so do artists who feel like they have to make a political statement about anything and everything. tibet...blah blah...iraq...blah blah. These are important issues, and many of us have opinions on them, but that doesn't mean we should record songs about them all the time! i'd rather read the news while listening to good music than just sit and listen to what seems to be a song written for the sole purpose of building a political platform. I guess a lot of political songs just seem sort of...forced.
of course the BBs (and others) certainly have the right to do whatever they want, but i just get bored hearing artists blather about politics just like i get sick of rappers talking about what type of car or rims they have.
EDIT: and yes, sabotage was a rockin video!

Well if you listen to there songs a majority of there songs are about there surrounding and or experiences. The war affects everyone and are only commenting on it in there song. I think if flying pink pigs invaded the states they be singing about that.

They have every right to voice their opinions. Don't fight against what the Framers worked so hard for.
