Burn a Flag with the Visitations

Published Tuesday, September 05, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

The Visitations (aka ex-Fablefactory singer/songwriter Davey Wrathgabar) will be playing this Saturday, September 9, at the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art. And he invites you to burn a flag for freedom (after a song from his politically-minded sophomore album, Propaganda), with the following motivation, as taken from his MySpace blog:

Why Burn A Flag? In these troubled times, political dissent is on the rise. Sadly, most dissenters have something negative to say. Many in America and abroad disagree with U.S. foreign policy. Many believe that all people are entitled to a living wage in exchange for an honest days work. Some believe that a democratically elected government should be the product of a fair, transparent election process. Although it is noble work against the status quo, to call for a change, The Visitations would like to invite all patriotic Americans (Dissenters and Consenters alike) to celebrate the rights symbolized by the flag of United States of America. Let's celebrate proposition that, according to the founding document of our nation, all people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights. Please join us as we burn a flag for freedom at the Athens Institute for Contemporary Arts at 7pm on Saturday, September 9, 2006.

I will be a little late with our weekly MP3. Any requests? I'm open to them...
