That's right. A lot of people have been misinterpreting that song, including a lot of journalists. They've been writing that "[Cheney]'s Toy" is a soldier. That's not correct. [George W.

Austin folk-rocker [James McMurtry] turned 46 this spring. He's been making records since John Mellencamp produced his first album in 1989.
