Press Release Body = LOS ANGELES, CA --- President , George W. Bush (PGWB) a Rap
artist? With the Internet swarming with PGWB parodies, it was
time to exercise the First U.S. Amendment, "Freedom of Speech" utilizing clearer
communication about war, profits and the environmental impact.
Writer-Producer-Musician-Environmentalist, Jon Hartmann has released "George Bush
Sings" in a rap-funk-groove download on
http://cdbaby.com/cd/jonhartmann4 , featuring tracks, "Don't Believe Me," "Let Us
Bomb," "StayThe Course," "My Heart Breaks," and
"Start A Business" which talks about America's addiction to oil. Other new tracks
will be added to the site for download as they are
produced.

"George Bush Sings is an audio outing for those of us who happen to notice that the
emperor\'s suit hides nothing. It was my
thinking that if the Office of the President had truly become a theatre of the
absurd, where words had no meaning, then it was time to
arrange the order of the President\'s words so that they may better reflect the
truth" states Hartmann. "This country has always had difficulty escaping the
influence of big oil. The way we built our cities and the reasons we went to war
were most often at the request and benefit of the folks at the petroleum concerns.
Many of the decisions made by government were in the best interest of the oil
stockholders but may have been disastrous for the well-being of the planet. At a
time when government must take the initiative to fundamentally change our
energy and environmental policy, we have a president whose background in the oil
business suggests that he may not have been suited to
the task of leading the nation away from it\'s addiction to oil. This president
stated that he was a uniter, not a divider, and yet he has done
more than any American president to polarize and disrupt the social fabric of the
United States. Start A Business is Bush's version of "let
them eat cake," Hartmann explains.

Hartmann's last album, "Pacific Electric," pays tribute to Los Angeles' long-lost
Pacific Electric Railway and Hartmann's thoughts of energy, policy and interest of
expanding rail service between and inside cities to promote healthier air and
trying to understand the removal of the Pacific Electric Railway. His previous
albums, "3 if By Air" and "The 10th House" both featured CD cover graphics which
reflect Hartmann's passionate visual statement about the fragile nature of the orb
we populate. He feels fossil fuels have no place in our future. "If we continue
to burn them at the current rate, two things will happen as sure as night follows
day.....our economy will be disrupted beyond repair, and our planet, likewise, may
be damaged sufficiently to induce global catastrophe," states Hartmann.

Hartmann is a songwriter, musician, producer, music publisher and record
label executive whose career has encompassed touring
the world. From his first overseas gig in Southeast Asia to entertain soldiers for
the USO, to performing with Ike & Tina Turner in Germany with the Rolling Stones as
audience spectators to co-writing with Jimmy Whitney, King of Pop, Michael Jackson's
1975 hit \"Goodness Knows.\" He's currently producing his own works and others
elaborating on his environmental beliefs as an activist and musical artist on his
own independent label, Jon Hartmann Records.
