File this one under "Stranger Than Fiction".
The fourth studio album by The Coup was scheduled to be released in September of 2001. The original album cover featured founding member and boy genius, Boots Riley, blowing up the World Trade Center.
Two planes were flown into the World Trade Center before the album was released. Crazy, heh?
Naturally, the record company postponed the release and insisted that the cover be changed. Boots said he fought to keep the original cover, but finally gave in.
Anyway, thought I'd post a song from the album as an antidote to all the patriotic bloviating we're about to get hit with from those scoundrels in politics and in the entertainment... er, news industry.
Feel free to post your own antidotes.
