Dear Mr. President please pass this on to your handlers PINKyoutube

Good onya Phoenix New Times..... In 3 or 4 places the following video/audio didn't work. I finally found it at New Times.

Pearl Jam Don't Go BP Amoco audio click here.
EXCERPT"
Song: Pearl Jam, "Don't GO: BP Amoco"
Context: A great video of the Band Oh Horses frontman singing Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike with Pearl Jam in New York posted by So Much Silence led me to turn up this little ditty. You have to sit through a speech, but the pay off is a catchy little protest song reminding you which gas station not to frequent.

Nashville skyline songs about oil spills and BP
1) EXCERPT:
We're pumpin' out petrol, no matter what cost
And now that 11 men's lives have been lost
The price is as high as rig workers can pay
Payin' the price for the U.S. of A.
A deepwater rig called Horizon went down
No way to seal off its pipe has been found
So south Louisianans all wait for to see
Just what the landfall of this spill will be

Forbert's chorus finishes the saga tidily:

An' it's oil
Creepin' in the sea
Don't buy it at the station
You can get it now for free
Just come on down to the shoreline
Where the water used to be

2) EXCERPT:
But there actually are a couple of BP and oil spill songs I have heard, written by composers who have the moxie to tackle the issue head-on. Three years ago, Pearl Jam were moved to write an actual "boycott BP" song, called "Don't Go: BP/Amoco," when they were outraged by a BP sludge dumpage into Lake Michigan. The band debuted the song at Lollapalooza, and videos of it are still running on some websites. It's pretty much just a chant, but it's also very effective.

It's Ecocide (song about BP Deepwater Oil Spill)

my2cents regarding the following......
Do these people really think that handing this stuff over to the UN will help? If they do and are not simply diverters, then they need to be educated...... THE UN are as evil as the rest of these SOBs.

UN and Oil for Food Scandal
EXCERPT:
A new FOX News poll finds that 54 percent of the U.S. public believes the United Nations does not reflect the values of average Americans. Only 29 percent say that U.N. policies reflect said values.

“I believe the U.N., parts of it, have been corrupt for years. But this went to a whole new level,” said Rep. Christopher Shays (search), R-Conn., chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations.

Shays is leading one of several Oil-for-Food probes by the federal government. The General Accountability Office has already pegged Saddam’s Oil-for-Food take at $10.1 billion. It could end up being a lot more.

Shays says Iraqis aren't the only victims -- Americans are too.

Adding ecocide to list of major international crimes listen to the audio
Genocide and war crimes are ghastly offenses that be tried before the International Criminal Court. But if one lawyer in Britain has her way, so-called "ecocide" against nature could be added as a new major crime against the world. According to the UK's Guardian newspaper, this radical idea, if approved by the U.N., could be used to prosecute industries alleged to be damaging the environment through things like fossil fuels, mining, agriculture, chemicals and forestry. Supporter say the charge of ecocide could even be leveled against "climate deniers" who try to prevent action on alleged man-made global warming. A vote on this measure isn't expected until 2012, but could actually pass if 2/3rds of nations vote "yes" on this outrageous concept.

This guy mentions the BP fools going back to their yachts in this song. He must be psychic, eh?

The BOB
EXCERPT:
When I heard earlier today that Tony Hayward, the under pressure boss of BP, was spending his Saturday with 'Bob', I assumed it meant that he was working alongside Robert Dudley, the executive taking of day-to-day operations in the Gulf of Mexico, on the company's ongoing operation there.

But no. The Bob that Hayward has this afternoon been spotted with is the name of a boat he jointly owns and which has been taking part in today's Round the Island yacht race

...............

Video........ WE CARE ABOUT THE SMALL PEOPLE........ hmmmmmm, getting the language right? What about his comment about US and our patience? I'm outta patience, how bout you? How dare he say that BP cares about the small people! Hayward is out on a yacht....... and what's he doing? Is he crying over cavier and champagne?
HE'S RUBBING OUR NOSES IN IT!!!

Oh yeah, he also mentions legitimate responsibilities?????? Who is deciding this? Is it BP, Halliburton and Transocean? It seems these SOB's MO is .......... The Fox guarding the henhouse, eh?

The guest list for the wedding itself is a closely-guarded secret, but the foreign royals and heads of state attending the concert are thought certain to also attend the wedding.


BP CEO Hayward Yacht The Bob

Maritime news: BP CEO Hayward goes yachting at posh JP Morgan race, while partner in damaged oil well jumps ship, says “BP’s behavior and actions likely represent gross negligence or willful misconduct.”
June 19, 2010
AP: BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward, centre, sits aboard his yacht Bob, during the JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race, Saturday June 19, 2010.
The most out-of-touch CEO on the planet, BP CEO Tony Hayward got his “life back” for a day at “glitzy yacht race.” Some reports said he merely attended the event, but AP reports (with photo above) that he was aship while his company — and its oil — runs aground.
Why oh why hasn’t Hayward been fired yet??? I suppose it’s because the guy who could fire him, Board Chair Carl-Henric “We care about the small people” Svanberg is equally tone deaf.
While Hayward was yachting, BP’s “main partner in the damaged exploration well,” Anadarko Petroleum, was fleeing BP like … well, like the kind of creatures who are known to flee a sinking ship. In a damning statement, chief executive, Jim Hackett said:
“The mounting evidence clearly demonstrates that this tragedy was preventable and the direct result of BP’s reckless decisions and actions. Frankly, we are shocked by the publicly available information that has been disclosed in recent investigations and during this week’s testimony that, among other things, indicates BP operated unsafely and failed to monitor and react to several critical warning signs during the drilling of the Macondo well. BP’s behavior and actions likely represent gross negligence or willful misconduct and thus affect the obligations of the parties under the operating agreement.“
Is there no honor among oil companies? Not when real money is at stake, as the WashPost reports today:
Hackett’s comments have huge financial implications. As a 25 percent partner in the well, Anadarko would ordinarily be responsible for a quarter of all cleanup and damage costs. But, Hackett said, “BP’s behavior and actions likely represent gross negligence or willful misconduct and thus affect the obligations of the parties under the operating agreement.” He said Anadarko would donate to charity and civic groups any proceeds it receives from the sale of oil collected during the cleanup.
What a guy! Looks like there’s one oil company CEO talking to public relations experts.
It seems increasingly likely that BP will be found guilty of gross negligence or worse:
