"Bu$hleager" is awesome and still relevant
I know some people seem to hate this song, but it's a top 3 Riot Act song for me, probably only behind Save You and You Are.
It's classic Stone riffage with some awesome leadwork in the opening. Very rhythmic, and a little psychedelic. Love how it goes acoustic and sounds kinda folk-ish which for the rest of it which is very fitting considering the image Bush and these fake "men of the people" like to craft for themselves as all-American success stories.
Ed's vocal delivery is very different and rare, and the lyrics are awesome. It's got great humor and wordplay. I like that Ed and Stone co-wrote them too, fun little fact. I've seen some people say it's dated, but to me its the opposite. The lyrics could so easily be made to fit certain other presidents. The same scam repeats itself--rich guys convincing half the country they're a common man just like them.
Can we get some love for this tune?
