History could pass for a scarlet text, its jot and title graven red in human blood.

He could have made it right with the book. But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.

When President Obama entered the White House, the economy was in a free-fall. The auto industry: on its back. The banks: frozen up. More than three million Americans had already lost their jobs. And America's bravest, our men and women in uniform, were fighting what would soon be the longest wars in our history.

History is the only true teacher, the revolution the best school for the proletariat.

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
