More anti-war songs have gone online. Firstly Lenny Kravitz has teamed up
popular Iraqi singer Kadim Al Sahir to record 'We Want Peace', which will be
distributed via the website of the US Rock The Vote movement at
http://www.rockthevote.org.
Talking about his decision to work with the Rock The Vote group on the track
he told reporters: "They seemed to be the right partners because of their
strong stance with young people as defenders of free expression."
Green Day meanwhile have recorded a track called 'Life During Wartime' which
has been posted at http://www.greenday.com.
Alongside the track is a message from the band?s Mike Dirnt which reads:
"First of all, stop this war since it is not my war and it is not your war.
I am not going to watch on TV, none of us are. We are not going to support
it in any way, shape or form. We are just going to concentrate on our music
and try and put something positive in the world outside anything thing that
is distracting us. Everybody out there do what you do, have fun doing it and
try and live your lives. Don't support this crap going on in the world. Just
keep doing what you do and we will talk to you soon".
Marty: And here I thought "Rock the Vote" is supposed to be politically neutral organisation.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
