The "Makeshift Patriot" EP is an EP by Sage Francis. The title track was originally released as a free MP3 on the day it was written and recorded, October 11, 2001. The track is a comment on the American media and its response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. The lyrics are written from first hand experience, worked into the track are recordings from Francis' visit to Ground Zero five days after the attack. The song can also be found on the Known UnSoldier "Sick Of Waging War..." CD. A Bob Dylan exchange with the press is played back at the end of this track. Bob Dylan - "Seriously, if I want to find out anything, I'm not going to read Time Magazine, I'm not going to read Newsweek, I'm not going to read any of these magazines.I mean, because they've just got too much to lose by printing the truth,you know that"

Member of press - "What kinds of truths are they omitting?"

Bob Dylan - "Well, anything.Even on a worldwide basis.They'd just go off the stands in a day if they printed really the truth"

Member of press - "What is really the truth?"

Bob Dylan - "Well, really the truth is just a plain picture."
