Gawker: Anti-Ground Zero Mosque Country Song
Edited on Fri Aug-20-10 09:50 PM by Scurrilous
"If we let 'em build it, well can't you see, they'll turn 9/11 to a mockery," sings Trade Martin in this anti-Ground Zero Mosque song, cleverly titled, "We've Got To Stop The Mosque At Ground Zero." Yes, this is real."

Trade Martin: Stopping The "Mosque At Ground Zero" In Song

<snip>

"Trade Martin is one of those incredibly talented guys whose contribution to music is often invisible. Nonetheless, he's been quietly producing, writing, arranging and in some cases playing every instrument on backing tracks since the 1950s, and has a Grammy for his work with B. B. King. He's sort of an unevolved Pokemon version of Quincy Jones.

Why all that stellar talent has been put to waste writing a song extolling just how dangerous it would be to let a religious group build a community center a few blocks from where an unconnected group of insane terrorists committed an unspeakable tragedy is utterly beyond us. It's not even a good song.

It plays like a cut from the No Holds Barred soundtrack with lyrics that were probably written on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt showing the purchase of truck nuts."

"We've got freedom of religion, I understand" obviously he doesn't understand!
