Our Rocumentary and a small sample
of our live performances
"Rockin' in the Free World"
When Donald Trump launched his presidential campagn in 2015 he had this song playing as he rolled down the escalator at Trump Tower. Besides the fact that he forgot to check with Niel Young, he also neglected to listen to the words; it is a song about American poverty and curruption not about freedom. To make things clear for the Donald, we decided to rewrite the final verse . Hope you like it Donald!
"Come on People"
This is the live world premiere of a song my friend Joe and I wrote 30 years ago during the Cold War. It seems with the latest pack of "fools" running the world these days, it's a song that, unfortunately, has not lost its relevance. Lots of thanks to my fellow Rats for giving it its present form and to Julian Schnizer at Attic Productions for putting the video together.
