9. Excellent!
Another analogy for bush being AWOL..when the USA got bush as the chief chimp..it sunk to a new low.

AWOL, Pet Goat, Playing Guitar while New Orleans sinks under water.

I'm sure there's more.

12. Thanks, I didn't.
It's just so obviously Nero! It's chilling how cosmic events have manifested to history repeating itself all these millennia later.

What I found out, though, was "fiddling" meant what bush really does whenever there's a catatrophe enveloping our Nation..

<<snip>>

"Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar couldn't have fiddled while Rome burned in A.D. 64 because the violin wasn't invented until the 1500s. What Nero really did while Rome burned is sing. The emperor, who had artistic ambitions, was apparently performing an old Greek scene for his friends.

The first reference to Nero's fiddling appeared in the mid-1600s. The word "fiddle" seems to have been used to mean "engaging in frivolous activity," not "playing a violin."

When he was through singing, Nero blamed the fire on the Christians and began the first Roman persecution. Others, pointing to Nero's desire to rebuild Rome on a grand scale, note that the fire was a very convenient way for him to carry out his plans and suggest that he may have caused the fire himself."

8. Playing "House of the Rising Sun...
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one


to continue song here:

Chords :

The chord structure is the same throughout.
There are many ways of playing them, but a
combination of picking and strumming is the
most common.

Am C D F
Am E Am E
