No matter what side of the political fence you're on, we need to stop the vitriolic hatred amongst ourselves, otherwise the true enemy who is trying to kill us all....wins!

Creating an eclectic mix of Rock, Pop, Country, and Blues. Hope you enjoy!
My band is called The Smokin' Ace. You'll be hearing a lot more about it soon. I'm currently finishing writing several brand new blues songs and will start production in the first quarter of next year. The songs need to be tweaked a little because I want them to be perfect. When it's done, it'll be some of the hottest Blues you ever heard. The song on this site, "Call 911" featuring Jimmy Hall is a preview, but I got some even better ones than that. Stay Tuned!

Story behind the song
I wrote this song during the previous administration and hoped I could put it on the shelf with the new administration. Unfortunately, the song is more relevant today than ever.
Lyrics
Rome Is Burning Marc Alan Abrams Our country has been hijacked by the fringes, The establishment has given them a pass, When it all comes apart at the hinges, Theres a question of how long we could last, We close our eyes, and turn our heads, Believing lies that fools have spread. Chorus: And the walls, continue falling, As the world has stopped turning, And somewhere Osama is smiling, While Nero fiddles, and Rome is burning. Our homelands being silently invaded, Weve handed them the keys to the vault, As so-called leaders keep the rest of us frustrated, Swearing that its someone elses fault. The stage is set; the lines are drawn, While ignorance sits with its blinders on. Repeat Chorus Bridge: Our united front gets clouded by debate, thats overshadowed by the politics of hate. Repeat Chorus Tag: And somewhere Osama is smiling, While Nero fiddles, and Rome is burning
