A rowdy bag of swamp-rock anthems, bar-band blues, roadhouse boogies, and some topical rabble-rousers.

A Word About The Demonstrators

The demonstrators are a songwriter's-choice studio band featuring internationally-known roots music artists led by Marty Rifkin (Bruce Springsteen's go-to guy for pedal steel and dobro) with Teresa James, Bob Malone, Roy Zimmerman, James Intveld, and John "Juke" Logan.

What is Live Verse? It's conversational, not existential. It's down-to-earth, not other-worldly. And it's underdog poetry. It has a hard-earned view of the world from the bottom up.


The trouble with democracy is politics. Live Verse of the Week is when politics goes from bad to verse.

THE DECIDER

Who put the dent in president?
Who put the ass in disaster?
Who sank the Good Ship Bipartisanship?
Could it have drowned any faster?

Who put the I in decider?
Did the buck ever stop where it should?
And who put the folk in folksy?
It seems we got folked pretty good.
