In this episode of the Revolution Rock and Roll Podcast, we explore the sounds of the "Sons Of Liberty". SOL is Jon Sheaffer's alter-ego patriot metal project. Scheaffer comes from the world famous "Iced Earth" and is truly a master metal guitar player. Not only that, he is a dedicated U.S. historian.  Even if you are not a metal fan, the content of his lyrics might just win you over. It's Iron Maiden meets George Washington...and it will make your ears bleed with patriot enthusiasm. One of the songs reviewed is called "Tree of Liberty". The lyrics took me down the wormhole which end with the reading of the original letter by Thomas Jefferson that contains this famous quote that so many of you have in your sig lines.   Show Notes: RRR Update            -  Sales revenue $150.00!            -  First musicians paid!            -  First donation coming up - anti UN Small Arms Treaty support            -  Adding Right Arm of Wyoming to compilation (and info about a bug in the store regarding the sample section) Music            -  Sons of Liberty (Jon Sheaffer) from Iced Earth            -  Album "Brush Fires of the Mind"            -  Read letter from Thomas Jefferson to William Smith containing "Tree of Liberty" quote                   -  Read lyrics from "Feeling Helpless"            -  Played "Feeling Helpless" start to finish Links            -  Sons of Liberty            -  Iced Earth            -  UN Office for Disarmament Affairs
