Press Release Body =
LOS ANGELES, CA --- If music is the universal language,
Writer-Producer-Musician-Environmentalist, Jon Hartmann will be conveying a message
ears of the world will understand on the World Wide Web with the his political
funk-n-roll tunes on "George Bush Sings" - the string of truth serum tunes on CD
Baby.com, Broadjam.com and Myspace Music. The groovy tracks include, "Don't Believe
Me," "Let Us Bomb," "Stay The Course," "My Heart Breaks," and "Start A Business"
which talks about America's addiction to oil and his latest track, "Money Trumps
Peace" - a funky reggae rhythmic track with a groovy beat. Other new tracks will be
added to the site for download as they are produced.

"When I heard the phrase \"Money Trumps Peace\" I was stunned by the irony of its
use. The President was attempting to explain why European governments were
hesitant to join him in his efforts to occupy Iraq. He accused them of being more
concerned with the economic alliances maintained with Iran and Syria, and that
those interests trumped his vision for a more unified allied attack. The current
occupant of the White House is certainly not the only presidential perpetrator in
our history. Without exception, the executive branch of our republic has always
allowed one industry in particular to dictate the time and place of our wars of
choice, those adventures where access to a certain resource has demanded the
spilling of American blood. One nation, under oil. 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.

Hartmann is currently venting by way of blogging on his Myspace page
www.myspace.com/jonhartmann , where other like- minded environmental, political,
music and media minds gather to support our amendments - freedom of speech and
freedom of the press. It's a haven for expression to share thoughts on all the
goings on of the world., that offers Hartmann some peace in warm company along with
creative artistry.

"The technique or methodology of this project is to find audio snippets of OUR
GREAT LEADER and utilize the magic of modern music software to cut, splice,
dice, shred, mangle and frappe the words until they begin to resemble the
truth. It\'s hard to know the real intelligence level of the President because
he is so inconsistent in his thoughts and speech. A Connecticut-born blue blood
adopts a Texas accent which is turned on and off as needed. I listen to
speeches and the occasional question and answer farce, and wait until some
choice word or idea presents itself. This is the most common form of
composition, what Mussorgsky called the happy accident, finding something that
grabs your attention and motivates development," 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. Jon was signed as a writer in 1975 for Peacock Music, where he
and Jimmy Whitney co-wrote \"Goodness Knows,\" recorded that year by Michael
Jackson. 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.
