There's nothing I'd rather do than play music. I write my own songs, but also enjoy playing the work of Kate Wolf, Richard Thompson, the Grateful Dead, and many other musicians too numerous to mention. The songs I write tap into the same veins of insight, inspiration, and ecstasy that my favorite musicians channel so well.

Story behind the song
We've been told for years to beware of furriners....meanwhile, more damage has been done to this country by those who are supposedly running it than by any other group of people.
Lyrics
Chorus: TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Pledged to a crazy creed TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Doin' crazy deeds TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND They ain't playin' fair Poison in our water Denial in the air Gotta tell you 'bout some terrorists Done some nasty stuff Poured poison in our water As if that weren't enough Left heavy metal sludge In peoples' yards and homes Tore up an ecosystem From the mountains to the sea Claimed it was nobody's fault Claimed it was a natural thing When I see their pasty faces, I just have to sing: TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Pledged to a crazy creed TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Doin' crazy deeds TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND They ain't playin' fair Poison in our water Denial in the air Then the terrorists issued a communique Said, “Hey, y'all we're the TVA And all that we have got to say Is don't worry 'bout a thing-- It's just that ol' clean coal ash, It won't hurt you none It couldn't be what makes you sick We'd didn't spread it all THAT thick So any disease is in your head And ignore the mountains we've removed-- No problem there that can be proved” And that's what the terrorists said bridge: TVA: Terrorists Violating Americans TVA: Terrorists Violating Americans TVA: Terrorists Violating Americans spreadin' arsenic, uranium, mercury, lead spreadin' arsenic, uranium, mercury, lead spreadin' arsenic, uranium, mercury, lead every single one of them will kill you dead TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Pledged to a crazy creed TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Doin' crazy deeds TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND They ain't playin' fair Poison in our water Denial in the air Who'll chase down these terrorists? Who, I wonder, who? These terrorists are the people Ruling over me and you They're the ones who own the papers, Choose what's broadcast on TV They're the ones in public office It don't matter which party And they'll all pardon each other Or just look the other way And they'll pocket every penny And they won't care what we say TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Pledged to a crazy creed TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND Doin' crazy deeds TERRORISTS IN THE HEARTLAND They ain't playin' fair Poison in our water Denial in the air coda: They spell “profit” with an “f” So I say, “f 'em all....
