If Donald Rumsfeld had ever made a record, would it have been any good?

Sorry, just thought I'd ask.

No. (With considerable authority.)

He's a wonderful poet.

it might go a little something like this

Can't you see him making a Laibach-style ultra-heavy doom-nazi-marching band killer? Called Fuck You, Prole?

Or is that just me?

Glass Box

You know, it's the old glass box at the—

At the gas station,

Where you're using those little things

Trying to pick up the prize,

And you can't find it.

It's—

And it's all these arms are going down in there,

And so you keep dropping it

And picking it up again and moving it,

But—

Some of you are probably too young to remember those—

Those glass boxes,

But—

But they used to have them

At all the gas stations

When I was a kid.

Don's got a covers album in the pipeline

tracks include 'Pyramid Song' and 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'

It would have been torture ...

i'm picturing more of a tom waits ragtime piano thing that tries to be funny and probably is to some folks.

split 7" with j. ashcroft

He could easily front Rammstein.

― scottontharox (scottkundla), Saturday, 8 May 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

No way! He'd be totally Dean Martin performing "Sister Ray"!

― prostpilso (nestmanso), Sunday, 9 May 2004 05:39 (twenty-one years ago)

No. Too 'decadent'. He would stick to simple folksongs about killing arabs, but it would played all twee...on a church pipe organ.

ok. what about Sixteen Tons ?

― eleki-san (eleki-san), Sunday, 9 May 2004 07:59 (twenty-one years ago)

ray stevens "ahab the arab" vs the cure "killing an arab".

rummy with mascara anyone?

I think Rumsfeld would probably get in trouble for using recorded sound effects of bombs and missiles his military dropped as beats for songs.

― uh (eetface), Sunday, 9 May 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Break up the band! Various solo efforts:

Little Donnie Rumsfeld - I Don't Want the World, I Just Want Your Half

Blacklist (Ashcroft's new band) - What's That Your Reading?

W - Thinking on My Feet

Cheney in Charge - Asbestos Makes You Smarter

'Leeza - Live from the Condaleeza Rice

― Evanston Wade (EWW), Sunday, 9 May 2004 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Douglas Feith - Just Gotta Have Feith

There is no question but that the record would suck ass.

― Broheems (diamond), Monday, 10 May 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

If he can't run a defence force, how's he capable of making a hit record?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 10 May 2004 00:51 (twenty-one years ago)

If his album followed his list of rules to live by... than nope, still would suck.

― David Allen (David Allen), Monday, 10 May 2004 00:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I definitely foresee a cover of the Dead Kennedys' "Bleed For Me".

― Nate in ST.P (natedetritus), Monday, 10 May 2004 01:29 (twenty-one years ago)

If he's making an album, what musician should take his job?

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Monday, 10 May 2004 01:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Does it matter? A pancake would be more effective.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 10 May 2004 01:55 (twenty-one years ago)

>>If he's making an album, what musician should take his job?

What's Ted Nugent up to these days?

― Dr Benway (dr benway), Monday, 10 May 2004 06:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it would have kicked ass had he so done. destructive power rock, like a more confused metallica. p.s. he is evil and must be destroyed.

― lukey (Lukey G), Monday, 10 May 2004 07:43 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, he could have been so kind of Ted Nugent, definitely... and make a cover of "Bombs over baghdad" !

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Would such a record kick ass? Probably. Would it take no prisoners? One hopes.
