I guess not… SUPER FREE Don’t know if I’m stoned or superfree We don’t know karate man, we know crazy We always hit the road and freak it out Fleeing from our homes to the wild is what we’re all about I’ve seen mountains that have made me whole The desert sun makes me one I just keep letting go Thrill seekers riding hard to keep it cool We don’t need the bullshit the transmissions getting through THE RIDE IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT TIME AIN’T EVEN RUNNING OUT!!! I know I can’t stop screaming from a mountain top I’ll take my friends Any chance I can And now I’m standing tall free riding all day long I’ll take my friends Any chance I can I’m stoned…and I’m super free We don’t need you baby cuz what we need we get for free You mutha fuckers think you got me now Nine to five ain’t gonna drag my life down Did you know that The Dirty Americans, used to be signed to Roadrunner as The Workhorse Movement? “WORKHORSE is gone but the MOVEMENT lives on in Myron, Freedom and Pete along with a new drummer Jeramiah Pilbeam together as THE DIRTY AMERICANS!! More rock less rap than Workhorse, same amount of strange…” – and that comes straight from Myron’s mouth! An update straight from Myron – We have about 12- 13 new songs finished for the record, more are in various stages, we’re doing a cover of detroit rock gods the MC5 (“Call Me Animal”) it’s a great tune and fits very with the rest of the material we’ver written on this album, check it out on napster if you don’t know it. Our first gig is June 8, 2001 in Mt. Pleasant Michigan, USA at the same club (Rubbles) where Workhorse started. With Cornbread gone, a lot of the rap vibe is gone, so we’re concentrating on rocking out in strange new ways. The Dirty American’s material is similar, Freedom and I wrote almost everything for Sons Of The Pioneers so there is a familiar sound in the new material because we are still deeply involved in the writing process. We’re concentrating more on the songs that have a stranger rock vibe like “Heavy”, “Joe Mama”, “Beotch” etc. The new drummer (Jeremiah Pilbeam) totally has the John Bonham thing going on which fits perfectly with Freedom’s guitar playing!! Workhorse made a video for single ‘Keep The Sabbath Dream Alive’ shot in Detroit. The ‘Sons Of The Pioneers’ CD by the Workhorse Movement is still available at around 퉌£11.99 in stores.
