Here's song I wrote with CNN on last night - it's supposed to have a loose, jam session-type feel to it. All done with BIAB, RT/MIDI. Thanks for listening...

Freedom is a funny word
In some parts of the world
The sky is not the limit
If you're a poor Egyptian girl
The vendor on the street
Or the father pumping gas
The mother pacing nervously
And looking through the glass

Chorus:
Egypt is burning
In the dead of the night
There's tossing and turning
In the towers of bright lights
30 years of waiting
Is about to be set right
Make peace with the ashes
Cause Egypt is burning tonight

Gimme some of that freedom
That you've been speaking of
I'll wrap it around my country
It will fit it her like a glove
Sunshine on the marketplace
In spite of what they say
The hell with the politicians
They can all just go away

Chorus: repeat

Camels and Mercedes
Riding side by side
Look up extreme inequity
And get back to me by five
You can work all your life
But you'll never see those riches
Gonna ride this revolution
And drive out those sons of bitches

Chorus: repeat

Hi Bob,

Wow! I was there with you all the way through the song. The lyrics are excellent, the arrangement is very creative and the mix is just right. When I first heard the banjo, I thought, "Huh?" but, by the end of the first verse, I thought "Yep! That works really, really well. Very clever addition." I'm very impressed.

All the best,
Noel

Hey Noel, thanks so much! I wanted to try something a bit different with the arrangement on this one - thanks again for your kind words.

I'm not one for political songs but I enjoyed hearing this side of you Bob. I liked the intensity of your performance and the verse chorus structure.

Very Nice...Guess it's "Game Over" time, eh??

Three legs of a stool
Protests
Revolution
Folk Music
But we all know how the story played out in Iran. Out went the Shah and in came Sharia. To put it in Reagan-esque terms, we might ask: “Is the world better off than it was 30 years ago?”

By the way, just an aside here—but what’s the deal with President Barack Obama not supporting the people protesting in the streets of Tehran a while back, yet now supporting those in Egypt? Does he have a blind spot when it comes to Islamic states and a bias toward potential new ones?
