Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

September 23, 2011

Sammy Hagar, lead singer for the rock band Chickenfoot, received a letter from an Iraq vet who couldn?t find work. He closed the letter with the words, ?Can you help me, brother? I need a job.?

After hearing a number of similar stories, Hagar was inspired to write a song entitled ?Three and a Half Letters,? the lyrics for which were taken directly from those desperate notes. The band will perform that song on its upcoming national tour, and post the letters on its website in the hope that at least some of the struggling people who wrote them will find work.

Ironically, as a member of a band called Montrose thirty-seven years ago, Hagar wrote a song called ?Paper Money? lamenting the economic destruction caused by the Regime?s fraudulent, worthless, paper currency. A generation after composing that protest song, Hagar is now chronicling the human costs attendant to the unraveling of the fiat money system.

It?s likely that Hagar is smarter and more honest than most policy-makers, which admittedly isn?t the highest hurdle to jump. Hopefully he will help his vast audience understand the causes, and potential cure, of our ongoing depression.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
