Winding up her summer tour across Europe, Bonnie Raitt drew thunderous applause at the Stockholm Jazz Festival for dedicating a classic to President George Bush.

"We're gonna sing this for George Bush because he's out of here, people!" Raitt crowed Tuesday night before she launched into the opening licks of "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," a cover that was featured on her 1979 album, "The Glow."

The song, written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter, has been sung by several notable performers, including Mable John and Lou Rawls.

Raitt's comments resulted in a round of applause and even whistles from among the estimated 3,000 concertgoers at the Swedish capital's annual jazz event held on the banks of the downtown Skeppsholmen island...

1. Aren't whistles the equivalent of boos in Europe?

I seem to remember that being the case when I was living in Germany. Could be wrong though.

2. Oh I'm sure those folks in Germany are booing her for that..LOL

5. AH, yer assuming all Germans feel the same way...

...about Bush. Yeah, there'd never be any pro-Bush people anywhere. Foolish me.

Your good thing

Finally - these old activists are getting their voices back!

6. You go girl.

I guess the neocons will make fun of her red hair or something but who cares. First Linda now her. This is so cool. Aretha, Joni, Jewell, let's here from you too.

I'd love to see what Clear Channels playlist options are when most of my favorites come out against the dim son and his Kast of Kharacters.

and thought "I wish some singer would make a connection between that and Geo. W. So that would be my reqeust to her for her next song. LOL
