Subject: RE: Michelle Shocked looking for topical songs
Well, that's a bunch of hooey, john! Sorry 'bout that.

For those who don't want to go to the site, here is what it says, fwiw:

Got Song?
Roadworks presents 'American Idle'; a celebration of our 'jobless recovery.' Michelle Shocked is looking for a few good songs to add to the repertoire in her touring adventure across the US this year. If you've written a song, or know a song that articulates the Zeitgeist; 1-in-10 unemployed, 1-in-6 uninsured, long term partners denied marriage equality, home foreclosures or mortgages underwater, political gridlock, bankruptcy or bailout…well, kid, this talent search is for you! Everyone knows 'the money's in the publishing,' so let wannabe-superstar suckers wail for other people's royalty checks, we want to hear what YOU have to say! Serve it to us plain or overproduced, we're listening to what the song has to say, not the party dress it wears. For further details, please contact Andy Sharkey at Campfire Girl Publishing asharkey@sbcglobal.net
