The political progressive rock band, Black Angel, of the San Francisco Bay Area (previous benefit rock albums for Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020) has been filled with rage at the absolute stupidity of the MAGA Republican Party; the misinformation spread by the mainstream press; and he horribly effect these actions have taken on Americans and the world. We can best fight for justice through our music.

Lyrics:
"They say Jack Smith disappeared into the bottle
That he fried his brains on crack
But these are the guys who invented 'THE BIG LIE'
With chocolate running down his face he said
'I didn't steal that candy....I didn't steal no candy
That deranged Jack Smith did'
They say they're sticking with Trump...until the last dog dies
Jack Smith said the last dog died on January 6th".
