We find ourselves living in this small south-eastern Minnesota town which happens to be hosting the Minnesota State Republican Convention this weekend. Guest speaker is that idiot Karl Rove, so we sit in the guest section to heckle and hear what the enemy has to say. After his lies and Obama-hating, the convention adjourns, and we hear "Everybody's got some devotion, hidden somewhere along the way...We stand our ground...You can't hide..."

How could this be? Is this Rove's new theme song? Have Republicans co-opted our beloved Maktub? Are they saying that Obama can't hide? Is this their version of Clinton using Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking about Tomorrow" in 1992? Is Rove going to starting rapping again? Has Maktub given permission? What would Reggie et al think? What has the world come to?

We find our way to the AV section to learn that Republicans had nothing to do with this. The most excellent Jeff Taylor of Minneapolis had been hired as part of sound crew. So great to meet a fellow Maktub supporter (provided gear and support for Start It Over album) to reminisce about Seattle shows and the times the band has gotten to the midwest. Other songs from Khronos played on as the convention hall cleared.

So, many thanks to Jeff for bringing joy to an otherwise frightening event. Maktub continues to spread good vibes and bring people together wherever it is played. THANKS!

Question...

Hi there, greetings from Argentina. I've been listening Maktub for some years now since their first album came out; I got to know 'em from a friend; I love this band.

I was wondering if you could send me or give me a link where I can download their latest album "Start it over", since it's impossible for me to get it down here...

mi email/msn is ramociclon@hotmail.com

Thanks.-

PS: excuse me for the poor english.
