From Mikey 7-1-09
"I am currrently in the Northwest working on a friend's album.
San Diego will always be my adult home-town but I want to give some love to Eugene, Oregon which the home of many great musicians.
I call Eugene the world capital of good vibes.
(And shout out to Deadwood, the last true hippie commune on the West Coast and maybe America. I went to school in Mapleton with many cool peeps from the Deadwood Community.)
Plus the live music scene in Eugene, and Portland, is amazing. I am happy to be home, Oregon is a great place to spend summer. I'll actually be in McMinnville through September.
So we'll see how we do on the Myspace Music Charts up here until I get back to San Diego next Fall. I also hope to play some live shows up here soon!"
------------------------
"This music was
Produced by guitar God
Eddy Kordowski,
(cdbaby.com/cmcross).
We first charted
on Myspace Music
with only
an acoustic demo.
Eddy did an amazing job of double-tracking vocals and creating a pure sound, but it amazes me we could show up on any type of regional charts with the likes of LA artists Flogging Molly and L7, and then a nation-wide chart with Pearl Jam and Mudhoney. Of course they kick our ass but considering the tens of thousands of independently labeled artists (with polished studio recordings and national fame,) reaching the top 100 Grunge Music Sites in America aint so bad.
Thank you
MYSPACE FRIENDS!"

"Geeked America"
Illegal Drugs, Go To Jail
Corporate Drugs, Now On Sale
"Geeked America"
by Mikey G
Trouble in my neighborhood
Nazi's for the common good
repression wears a uniform
Punk you
if you don't conform
live free and be harassed
create the new underclass
the future dies
if they find your stash
in Geeked America
word spreads fast
trouble in my neighborhood
wrong is right
call evil good
checkin' records
for each good job
fail the test,
remain a slob
Trouble everywhere I see
for those who fail in society
litmus test our morality
then fill the jails
& throw away the keys ..
But HEY
Every body's
got a secret
it's your opinion
won't you keep it
You create GOds
you fight dumb wars
American Geeks
corporate whores
Now
all good people
it's time to hear our voice
now all good people
it's time to make our choice
hey all good people
now lift up your hands
hey all good people
it's time to make a stand
Trouble in this world today
big oil in a power play
repression in our uniform
kill them
if they don't conform
Fightin evil for SUV's
rootin' out
all the demon seeds
toss our kids on some IED's
In Geeked America
we love greed
trouble down in Mexico
kill the poor
let the powder flow
lawyers, doctors
they love cocaine
spreadin' pills
buy a diamond ring
drug companies go to war
sell their meds
at the corner store
get depressed
and come back for more
in Geeked America
profits soar ..
But HeY
every body's
got a secret
you keep your pill
where you can reach it
you offend God
he hates your wars
American Geeks
religious whores
Now
all good people
it's time to hear our voice
now all good people
it's time to make our choice
hey all good people
now lift up your hands
hey all good people
it's time to make a stand
Rehearsal of "GEEKED AMERICA"
(Up to first Chorus)
"We must wage total war
against what I call
public enemy number one.
The Public use of illegal drugs."
President Richard Nixon
"The 'War on Drugs' began with an infamous memo from FBI Chief (and Freedom Nazi) J. Edger Hoover to then President Richard Nixon regarding a public strategy to quelch the Protests against Vietnam.
Over half the prisoners in Federal Prisons are now NON-VIOLENT drug offenders, and there is no end in sight.
When Nixon used the classic J. Edger Hoover phrase, 'Public Enemy Number One,' he was giving Hoover, one of the most corrupt Public Officials in American History, carte blanche to destroy his political enemies in the Vietnam War Protest Movement. Thus, two of the most crooked figures to ever hold national office set us on a course that is by all accounts a disasterous, failed public policy.
Fact is, 50 years later, this 'total WAR' against 'Public Enemy Number One' is nothing short of nuclear assault against an invisible class of citizens, and the casualties are mostly minorities and poor people in third world countries.
WE are turning Mexico into a narco state and the cartels now have an army 100,000 strong. Can you say refugees? A cartel war that will eventually spill into our streets?
Has the 50 year
'war on drugs'
ended drug use?
Or simply destroyed lives
and entire societies
worse than drugs ever did.
We must end the national 'Drug Schedule' and develop a public drug policy that doesn't discriminate against the less fortunate in our country, creating chaos in developing countries.
SPEAK OUT!!
Please do your part to change our nation's drug policy to HELP users get treatment, not create a new class of criminals which never existed before our Nixon's 'drug schedule.' (He created solely as a means to win the culture war.)
('We don't like
ya'lls kind 'round here.
So we gonna throw yor
greasy long-headed butt
in jail.' READ 'Nixon's
Southern Strategy,' by
James Boyd.)
But doesn't the Right Wing
claim this is a 'Christian Nation' ....?
True addicts need HELP and most cannot afford help. So we nuke their 'backgrounds' and create a new underclass? Not smart. Or Christian.
(You wanna good feel for what it's like to be a hard-core addict who needs help, but instead ends up in prison? Find an old Tupac movie called, 'Gridlock'd.')
Congressman Ron Paul
Republican
He was the first politician
willing to speak
common sense
about the unconstitional
drug laws.
His party would rise
from the dead if
they simply embraced
their Libertarian roots
and championed this issue.
However they are no longer
secular political party but
a RELIGIOUS party.
Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Republican
Congressman Barney Frank
Democrat
Governor Bill Richardson
Democrat
These politicians have all
found the courage
to engage this debate
for common sense,
concerning an issue
that is still
political suicide
in many cases.
Even though 46% of all
Americans now favor
legalizing at least
marijuana for personal
use, not even our
popular sitting President
can address this issue politically.
It would be a
Chernobyl style
meltdown because
these failed policies
are now entrenched
in the fabric
of our institutions.
(Hell, I have venue
owners who won't
even allow me
to play their
establishment once
they see these views
are reflected in some
of my music.
I lose potential gigs
'cause I use dare
ta speak da truf.)
But I'm NOT advocating drugs.
I'm speaking out
for non-violent human beings
who become trapped
in a system that
was created
by one of the
most vindictive
and cruel politicians
in history,
and is
now revered by
the masses
as if it were written
in stone by the
finger of GOd Himself.
But I know God.
(We met in Sunday School
when I was 3 years old.)
And he wouldn't
write such heartless
bullshit.
He wouldn't throw
you into prison
for getting high
and playing
video games...
Destroying any
HOPE you had,
for the rest
of your life.
He would reach
into your soul
and encourage you
to find your PURPOSE
in this world.
Our current drug policy is
nothing short of
a monster created by
a monster...
DicK Nixon, dudes.
Our drug policy is
half a century old and broken.
How far into the abyss
must we sinK?
Hey All Good People.
Lift up your hands."
Mikey G
-----------------
"Please note...
I have a lot of
passion about this
issue because my birth dad
was a hard-core biker
who supplied half the
Bay Area in California
with illegal drugs.
Many of my summers
as a youth were
spent with other Bikers
and their families
in the alternative lifestyle.
These folks were the
kindest people on earth.
My dad bought
me leather and sat
me on the
back of a Harley when I
was 14 years old.. and
we rode together with
hardened Bikers who
were bigger than buildings.
They struck fear in the
hearts of men, but they treated
me like I was the Prince of
England.
Their only CRIME was they
do not give a fuck about
your rules, you wanna
impose on their lives.
And surely,
I learned early about
the pitfalls of drugs.
But my dad's friends
were no more criminal
than the Pope.
They simply chose to live
a different lifestyle from
the rest of society.
To have escaped another
generation in my family
tree living the biker lifestyle,
means that I have the
courage and passion
to cry out for change
on their behalf.
I love my dad and respect
him as an awesome
human being.
He taught me to be a
gentleman, to walk
in love for my friends,
and give strangers the
benefit of the doubt.
If that's a criminal,
I live in the wrong
country.
Peace."

"Do not JUDGE, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure YOU USE, it will be measured to you. I say, LOVE your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you.
For I tell you, DO NOT WORRY about life, what you'll eat and what you'll wear. Is life not more important than this? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sweat it out, yet they are never hungry. And look at the flowers in a beautiful field. Not even the most fashionable person in all the world is dressed as beautiful as these flowers."
