EVERYBODY HATES THE FARM BILL: I’m going to chime in with some words from an alt.country song about farm subsidies (no, really) called “Farmin’ the Government,” by the Nebraska Guitar Militia:

Other folks get welfare,
But we get aid
Don’t care what you call it
Long as I get paid

They’re just payin’ us to live here
Payin’ us not to go
Bribin’ us to take the place
Of Sioux and Buffalo — Don’t go!

Farmin’ the government
Plantin’ long green
Welfare for white folks
Keeps us buyin’ machines

The forthcoming CD is titled “Four Pickups of the Apocalypse.” It’s one of the projects I’m supposed to be mastering in my nonexistent spare time (because, unlike blogging, mastering takes big blocks of concentration) but maybe I’ll try to put up an MP3 of the unmastered version somewhere.

UPDATE: Okay, there’s a somewhat rough version here in several different formats. You may also be able to stream the song directly by clicking here.
