New Ministry Album slams *

[rumguy]

To emphasize Ministry's anti-Bush stance, almost every song on the record starts with a 'W': "No 'W,' " "Wrong," Waiting," "Worm," "Walrus," etc. "With the Bushes, the more things change, the more they stay the same," Jourgensen said. "This is a very critical election, and these are our protest songs. We ain't no Dixie Chicks, man. We're not gonna say, 'Well, I kinda don't like Bush' and then apologize for saying it. We hate this f---er."

For the first time, with Houses of the Molé Ministry will put their politics on the road. The band recently joined forces with Punkvoter.com, and when it tours the U.S. in August it'll travel with anti-Bush literature and set up a booth with the hope of signing up 100,000 fans to vote.

"I'm doing this because I see the guy still hanging strong in the polls when it's the most corrupt oligarchy ever to run this country," Jourgensen said. "Bush is really taking the world and throwing it into the toilet, and he's got his hand on the flusher right now. There comes a time when you just gotta do your part, and if everyone just did a little, there's no way he would have won the last election. This is a mission, and when I'm done, hopefully I'll be able to put a banner above us saying, 'Mission accomplished.' "

It's amazing to me all the forces aligning against Bush - punkvoter.com, the hip-hop world, Howard Stern, etc...

2. Thank goodness for bands like Ministry

They were never radio friendly in the first place, so unlike bands such as the Dixie Chicks, they don't have to worry about offending people with what they say.
