"nothing natural about it!"
We used to go see these guys in Austin, TX, in the 80s. They were a lot stranger then, but this is a pretty cool song. This seems like an appropriate phrase on the day our president decides to outline his plan for a so-called ‘surge’ into Iraq. That’s what I call surfing on your butt! Oh, and you can listen to their web-radio too. Bush was also, of course, the (I meant to do that!) Shrub Governor of TX, too, in the 90s.
