John Palumbo - Citizen X

John Palumbo, once and we hope future lead singer of Crack The Sky is one of the most literate writers of rock songs ever. On "Hey, Mr. President," he tells Jesus' best friend: "Jesus and Mary are watching you./ From their window in the big sky, wondering what you're gonna do..." Tracks like "Dancing Mit Der Fuhrer," and "Dancing At The White House," could be background music as Shrub attempts to dance in South America as his sidekick and enabler, Condolezza Rice, busts some actual moves. There's more much needed politics here on "All Fly Away" and "Immigration" wherein the protagonist says: "Senorita, bend over or I will send you back to TJ./ Spread that body out; it's fiesta time, Welcome to the USA." Welcome to Palumbo's Citizen X where you can be living with the lights on, until the lights go out. [www.palumbocitizenX.com]
