Hate-mail for the first time in my lcareer...

Gotta say...

As a registered Independent, I didn't think I'd ever be in this position... especially with my work. But, now I'm in it up to my neck. It's a matter of conscience for me.

The response to the song I'm giving away, as a free download to help remove Bush from our White House, has caused quite a reaction... mostly GREAT! It's been downloaded thousands of times in the first week. We're hearing from 37 states, now, and 4 European countries.

But, I've been getting a fair amount of HATE-MAIL for the very first time in my career. (Something I'm reeeeealllly not used to. I'm kind of a nice guy.) This weekend, it started getting to me.

It's all cool, though.

Had a lovely and wise woman... (young, but wise) ...email me the other day and say, "David... you are singing to the clear-thinkers, the open-minded and the wonderers. You are reinforcing the voice of reason. So, why focus on anything else."

She's right.

If you feel like it... the song is yours, too.

It's all at:

If you want, come back here and let me know how you feel.

3. If you reply at all....

Tell them you are singing to the clear-thinkers, etc. and then say 'what the hell does that make you? Moran!'

4. What did you expect! "A box of chocolates"!

Don't get me wrong I think that what you are doing is great. But surely you must realize that their people out their that will do whatever they can to "Shut you up"! It the repukes way of life. If they don't like what you are saying then they don't want you to say anything at all.
