Donal Hinely speaks for the many with the title track of "Giants" which came out several years ago now, but still cuts to the chase.

Where are they ?
I asked as well how could a putz like "W" ever become president, the moronic son of a mediocre President. It all seemed so fishy that "43" was ushered in under such awkward and bogus terms ( & as if "41" was enough wasn't it?) yet he plays the part as if he were little king George and they the Bushes were some kind of royalty who loved posing as a "Peoples regular guy kind of guys". The history books will morph the actuality into fables and lies, much like the WMD being
morphed into marketing a war.
There are some songwriters who sing about the state of the nation really well, the sentiment is not lost on me and many others. Check out "The Ballad of the Three Georges"
Donal Hinely is a brilliant songwriter and performer, I have always admired his work. I recently heard from him about his releasing a new album "Blue State Boy" on Atom Records.
And since he had my attention & I had his I asked if it would be cool to post this track of his on this Posterous blog 'a mine & Donal said yes just point to his sites.
Donal also plays the Glass harmonica and has for years his album Glass Stories features "Glass playing".
His Song Gasoline is an anthem to that special sauce
we tank up on which is over on Donal Hinely on My Space
portion of the lyrics to Gasoline by Donal Hinely
,,There was a note by the coffee machine
,,,she took the keys to the car
some cash from the jar
it was said that she got a away clean,
Cause A drunk has got to have his whiskey,
& A smoker needs that nicotine,
All A dreamer really needs is a Buick
and some money for gasoline
gasoline
gasoline
Hey what do we have to lose
gasoline
gasoline
C'mon drive away these blues
gasoline
gasoline,
C'mon drive away these blues
C'mon drive away these blues
Thanks Donal!
