Moby Slams Corrupt Bush As He Finishes his New Album

Moby has branded the escalating Enron scandal "gross" this week shortly after confirming he'll be releasing his new album "18" this May.

"As details of this Enron scandal emerge, it's starting to make me feel ill," says the multi-millionaire superstar producer on his personal website.

"George Bush affectionately used to refer to the chairman of Enron as 'Kenny Boy', they were great friends. Then when Enron went belly up (bankrupt) and the media asked him about Kenneth Lay, Bush said 'Ken who-'"

"My fear now is that the Bush administration will do something to distract the public from the Enron scandal," Moby added in a subsequent message.

"Please Mr Bush, you fucked up. Please don't do something stupid (like attack Iran, Iraq, or North Korea) just to distract the voters."

Throughout his ten year career Moby has consistently challenged corruption and corporate greed, though until Play took off, his views were largely ignored or dismissed. In fact, on the sleeve notes of Play, he presciently wrote a number of essays on subjects including the injustices of America's war on drugs and the dangers of fundamentalism.

"Fundamentalism (of any kind) troubles me", he wrote. "So many religious and political and scientific and social systems fail in that they try to impose a rigid structure on what is inherently an ambiguous world."
