I just think Bush is a bad president, an awful diplomat," says NOFX singer Fat Mike, who's putting together a Rock Against Bush two-volume compilation for next year. More than thirty-four bands have agreed to contribute tracks, including Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink-182 and Good Charlotte. To mobilize young voters, NOFX are also planning an anti-Bush theme tour, ending with a big show outside the Republican National Convention in New York next September. Says Fat Mike, "If we all stand together, no one's going to be able to shoot us down."

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
