kerry's gaffe a ripoff from fw garage band?

sigh. it's not bad enough that senator kerry seems determined to prove that even with the reps' credibility at a low ebb, the dems could still fuck up a wet dream. what makes it even worse is that the junior senator from massachusetts appears to have lifted his bungled line from "don't burn it," a slice of nam-era punk protest penned by teenage gtr whiz johnny nitzinger for fort worth garage outfit the barons ca. '66 (interested parties are directed to volume 3 of norton's fort worth teen scene comp). dig: "tell your boy he better go to school / so he won't wind up being a fool / study hard and really learn / so he won't get a card that says 'don't burn'." (post-boomers, ask yr mom and dad about the draft. please.) how sad that 40 yrs down the road, the barons lyric's still topical.
