Rather than attempting to describe C!BR’s upcoming extravaganza, Pollstar decided to let the band speak for itself with a quote from the tour poster.
“My Fellow Americans – My name is George ‘Dubya’ Bush, and I approve this message. That’s right folks C!BR will be coming to your town doing a tour dedicated to our great president, George Walker Bush.
“Whether you lean to the right or the left, whether you’re a terrorist or a pacifist, this tour is not to be missed. From 9/11, to the Iraq war, this administration has had as many twists and turns as Saddam’s noose.
“The robots will be playing GOP Administration members and various important figures from the last seven years. Dressing up as Secret Service agents for audience members is encouraged.
“We hope to see you at the show, as we’ll be listening to all your phone calls to confirm you’ll be showing up. Remember, ‘Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.'”
