SUNGOD

"If Louis XIV was the Sun King, worshipped for his greatness, Trump is the Sun God, worshipped for his petulance. Hopefully, he will end as did Louis XVI. No Billionaires. None."

STRATA

"I've had this song for a long time, and tried it in several previous bands, and it never quite clicked the way the original demo did. This band finally nailed it. Probably the angriest song I have ever written."

DEMOLITION DAYS

"Written when Trump sent the Marines to LA. My uncles were all Marines; my Dad was a Captain in the Navy. He's an insult to their service."

P.I.G

"This was written at the request of Mina Devadas, the wife of my friend John Stabb. When John was dying of cancer, she asked me to write a song for him to cheer him up. This did the trick."

WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR

"Yes, a Beatles cover. I'm a huge Beatles fan, but more importantly, this is a shout-out to the old geezer community in Seattle who show up for all kinds of shows. Sometimes it seems like old geezers are 70% of any audience in Seattle, and not just for my band, but for even young bands. We are not our grandparents, by any means."
