So sing some stuff like "Galveston" and "Black Snake Moan" and forget the anti-war, anti-Bush stuff. Hell, Bobert, I double-dare you to sing "Ballad of the Green Berets." No, I triple-dare you!

Seriously, just sing some regular stuff.

You might also be surprised. There's a whole different deal out there now -- supporting soldiers isn't supporting Bush, et al. It's not like it was during the 'Nam Time, although some folks don't understand that. Ya see, by calling up so many Reserve and NG units, Bush personalized this war: relatives, friends, neighbors are gone, not some faceless draftee from the ghetto. And those folks are coming back and being sent again and again and again, which makes the relatives, friends, neighbors, and employers a bit pissed off. So they show their support for the guys who have been taken, which doesn't necessarily translate into support for the folks who sent them.

Just do some regular stuff and you'll be cool.
