Sheryl Crow: Because of Karl Rove

That’s what inspired Detours, as Think Progress reports. She was motivated after her run-in with Karl Rove at a Washington Dinner.

(It) was sparked by her asking Rove to discuss the American government’s climate change policy. During the incident, Rove demanded Crow not touch him after she grabbed his arm. Crow reportedly replied, “You can’t speak to us like that, you work for us,” and Rove is then said to have retorted, “I don’t work for you, I work for the American people.” The headline-making fall out pushed Crow into recording the politically-charged Detours.

What do you do with a mess? You ask God to bless it.

Heard about the day
that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen, policemen
And people came from all around
The smoke covered the city
And the body count arise
The president spoke words of comfort
With tears in his eyes
Then he led us as a nation
Into a war all based on lies, oh
