Rockers Acknowledge Corruption

In a breaking news story, the STE Political Review has learned that more 'rock and roll' musicians have come forward in support of the SET Political Review.

Following in the footsteps of veteran rockers, Jefferson Airplane, three more musicians announced today that their hit songs foreshadowed corruption in the government of Jefferson County Texas.

"We knew it was going to happen." said Bill Haley, who revealed that his 1954 hit song, Rock Around the Clock, was really about corruption in Jefferson County lasting twenty four hours a day. Haley, who died in 1981, praised Philip R. Klein and the SET Political Review for exposing the ties between corruption in county government and rock music.

Shortly after Haley's announcement, The Eagles contacted the STE Political Review and confirmed that their 1976 hit Hotel California was also a reference to corruption that would occur in Jefferson County, Texas. "'They stabbed it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.' is NOT about drug addiction." said guitarist Glen Frey. "We knew in 1975 when we started this album that Jefferson County Texas would be corrupt. We just hoped someone would see it."

In an interesting twist, classical composer Ludwig Von Beethoven announced this afternoon that his Pastoral Symphony No. 6 in F major was not, as previously interpreted, a piece about country life in Vienna but was in fact, a precursor to the corruption that would exist in Jefferson County Texas some two hundred years later. "Even though Jefferson County did not exist, Mr. Beethoven knew it would be corrupt." said a spokesperson for the German composer who was unavailable for comment.
