What the last 8 years have sounded like
Eddie Vedder executive produced this soundtrack to the Iraq war documentary 'Body Of War'...although the album and its 30 songs serve equally well as a soundtrack for the last 8, long years.
This album needs to be put in some sort of time capsule and set aside for us when it is time to explain to our grandkids HOW this current administration could have POSSIBLY been elected...twice!
Here are three beautiful examples of the kind of genre hopping protest music that make up the compilation:
Bright Eyes - 'When The President Talks To God' MP3
John Lennon - 'Gimme Some Truth' MP3
Public Enemy - 'Son Of Bush' MP3
Labels:
Body Of War,
Bright Eyes,
Eddie Vedder,
John Lennon,
Public Enemy

i'm not american so i probably can't really talk about this but i think the answer may have had something to do with some 'faulty polling machines'. and there's me thinking that in the land of the free they would have had the foresight to check such things beforehand. doh... >.>
