‘Raw’ Music Video Exemplifies Current US Economic Stupidity
This post is a bit outside the norm for this blog but then so is the economic insanity that currently dominates the actions of the federal government. Bailout mania has been sold to the American public as a necessity. The latest move off the deep end features President Bush lobbing public cash to the auto industry as the few in Congress who opposed this idea were able to defeat a similar move by the House of Representatives. A few Senate Republicans whose motives are unclear were able to stop another foolish bailout of a group of businesses gone mad. So a totally irreverent music video not for viewing by everyone may actually be appropriate under the circumstances. The motives of those responsible for the video may not be clear either but at this point what does it matter.
There are no apologies here for those who may be offended by the content of this video. Offering it here is simply this blog’s way of saying everything is so screwed up on the economic and political scene a little raw uncensored video entertainment may be just what the doctor ordered. The video and press release are offered below. View at your own risk.

“F**k the Fed” Music Video Targets the Federal Reserve System and Strikes a Chord on YouTube
With his CD (”Now It’s Personal”) playing on AAA stations, Neal Fox stirs things up on YouTube. His uncensored, controversial Rap video, “F**k the Fed,” uncloaks the Federal Reserve and gets rave reviews.
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) December 18, 2008 — Neal Fox’s latest CD, “Now It’s Personal,” is airing on AAA stations, so creating a music video with a controversial theme is good timing. Known for his social commentary and wit–and with current events providing lots of material–Fox didn’t have to look hard for subject matter. The target was clear: The Federal Reserve System.
News about “the Fed” changing interest rates is common, and anticipated with fear or hope. But the Federal Reserve also controls the flow of money by issuing new funds, as in the recent bailout. Yet according to the Constitution, issuing money is one of the Powers of Congress. Congress — not a group of privately owned banks.
Fox wrote this song because, like every one else, he’s “fed” up with the economy and its doom-and-gloom forecast. But this is no dry commentary. It’s a concise and hilarious dart-throwing statement that hits a bull’s-eye. If you’re a Ron Paul supporter, a fan of Aaron Russo’s films, or just a disillusioned citizen, this one’s for you.
The Rap vocal and infectious rhythm have viewers chanting “F**k the Fed” along with Fox. The video strikes back at those who created this mess and those who benefit from it. So if you’re pissed off, check out Neal Fox’s “F**k the Fed” video and have a good laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6Fpoebz2LE (Note: This video is uncensored.)
Neal Fox is a veteran songwriter whose career spans decades in the music business. It includes a charted single, a Top Ten Dance Club Hit, Clio and Telly Awards, music for the Killer Tomatoes movies, six self-released CDs, and theme music for “Eye to Eye with Connie Chung,” “Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel,” “CBS Saturday Morning,” and the “CBS Evening News with Dan Rather.”
“F**k the Fed” will soon be available for download on iTunes, with the rest of Fox’s music. You can also buy his CDs through MySpace, CD Baby, Amazon, and other popular sites, or order them from retailers. Currently distributed by CD Baby. Licensing is available through his music publishing company Foxalot Music, http://www.foxalotmusic.com and his official web site is Wire Duck Records, http://www.wireduck.com.

Thank you so much for including my press release and my husband Neal Fox’s video in your blog. His songs (varied genres) don’t normally include profanity. However, as you acknowledged, sometimes a curse or two just hits the mark.
