| Watching Obama address the nation on Wednesday, January 27th, inspired Peter to write a spur-of-the-moment song that conveys his candid feelings on the state of our union.
Entitled "Bought and Sold," the politically-driven single speaks to our values as a nation, our moral bankruptcy, and our precarious moment in history. Peter was "inspired by" the trend of exploitation in our corporations, banks, and government, asking "how much is enough?"
Towards the end of the song, Peter incorporates poignant and passionate sound bites from politicians, including Rep. Barney Frank, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Alan Greenspan, Rep. Mike Capuano, Sen. Byron Dorgan and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Producer Ken Melville, worked with me to produce the track.
