Good Charlotte, Green Day, NOFX To Rock Against President Bush
Anti-Bush compilation album due next spring, along with tour.
by Jon Wiederhorn
Good Charlotte, Pennywise and Sum 41 have always been known more for their practical jokes than their practical advice. That may soon change.
Next year these bands, Green Day, NOFX, Alkaline Trio and others will unite to raise political awareness and encourage pop-punk fans to vote in the next presidential election — against George Bush. The groups will each contribute a track to the compilation Rock Against Bush and take part in at least one show on a tour organized and funded by NOFX singer/bassist Fat Mike, who also owns the label Fat Wreck Chords.
"About a year ago I decided to use my influence to get bands together to speak out about the president," Fat Mike said. "I think it's our responsibility as citizens and musicians to do so. He's wrecking the country and the world. He's starting wars for no reason, our economy is in the toilet, he's ruining the environment, and he does things like cut taxes when we need money."

BAH! http://freeconservatives.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smack.gif I like a lot of these bands, but I cannot for the life of me understand where they are coming from. Fat Mike of NOFX constantly talks about how Michael Moore is awesome?! We have all already proven how false Moore is! Bah, this sucks. I'll probably still go to the concert, but I'll wear a Pro-Bush shirt, or something...
