George Potor and Joe DeCristopher both were raised in New Jersey in the 1950's and 60's, and schooled and settled in Pennsylvania, but they didn't meet until late 1979. Though they played occasionally as a duo, their first excursion as a band was with the ppits, a motley crew of seven (and sometimes more), full of political irreverence and fun. The ppits morphed into a quintet, Veto and the Hitmen, which like the ppits, performed twice on WVIA's Homegrown Music with a bundle of original tunes, mostly by George, by George. Over the last few years, George and Joe, with Rick Totten, formed Good Without One, the drummerless rock trio fueled by the retrograde administration of Cheney and W, spawning such gems as "Less Scratch, More Itch", "The Ballad of W, M.D. (Ducking Like a Quack)", "Above the Law", "Things Could Get Worse", and "The Gitmo Swing." The winds of change continue to blow, and George and Joe continue to collaborate, sometimes as a duo, sometimes with the help of others. Happily, Fred Strickland has come onboard with his 5-string bass, vocals & songwriting. They look forward to introducing new tunes, some political (George's "Low Infaux Voter", Joe's "Subprime Blues" and Fred's "Fox U"), some not, like the rocking "Inis Mor", named for the island off the coast of Ireland that George visited in the summer of 2008.

Lyrics
Oh,What are the folks at FOX to do? Their Bush apologist days are through. They might even have to start telling the truth! What are the folks at FOX to do? They could turn themselves into a shopping channel, Bankrupt policies and Bush apparel. Or perhaps present a new game show, Contestants vying for bailout dough. No, those won't work. FOX needs to use Their talking heads with their narrow views, Fancy words making little sense, Egos that are just immense. Wait! I've got it! A perfect plan! A place for every pontificant Who smothers truth with ideology... -- They should start a University! FOX U! -- Where Reagan is a saint FOX U! -- Compassionate they ain't. FOX U! -- Free of liberalistic taint Don't apply unless you'll comply -- FOX U! I can see it now -- The College of FOX! Thinking only to the right of the box. Campus traffic became quite a mess When folks decided they shouldn't turn left. The football team lost every game Since a run to the right became their only play. It got to where the Dean took a moral stand; Ordered all things left completely banned. FOX U! -- Gazing only to the right. FOX U! -- Banning half the world from sight. FOX U! -- What a sorry sorry plight! One side's NOT better than two -- FOX U! Well, this mania for all things right Came to a halt that very night When each man and wife, taking to their bed, Found someone always had to be on the left. So, from each couple, one was banned! Marriages broken -- it got out of hand. Attempts to outlaw impropriety Can only harm society. FOX U! -- It all came crashing down. FOX U! -- Left confusion all around. FOX U! -- There's a moral to be found -- There isn't just one side to truth -- FOX U! FOX U! FOX U! FOX U! FOX U! FOX U! -- Now the world's a better place! FOX U! -- Wrongheadedness erased... FOX U! -- There's a lesson we can trace: There isn't just one side to truth -- FOX U!
