Twisted Sense Of God (pt. 1)
I was talking to my assistant a couple of months back, and while we were talking about the obvious differences in men and women, I had to give up and say that men couldn't handle the period cycles that women go through. She countered and told me that men do have periods . . .

Holiday
From "Chiildish Thing"
2004 turned him into a political songwriter. His latest album, Childish Things, has a couple of great ones. "Can't Make It Here Anymore" is a general broadside against our cultural decay and rich conservatives, but the last verse of "Holiday" is more specifically about the war. Not so much about the war as about the soldiers, though. He talks about a forty-odd year old Iowa Guardsman sitting in O'Hare (presumably on Thanksgiving), being sent back to Iraq. He remembers being in O'Hare in 1968, watching soldiers coming back from Vietnam...

American War Paar Da
(Check Out The American War)
Di questa canzone contro la guerra è assolutamente fondamentale vedere il divertentissimo video del regista KP Sasi. Il testo è in inglese con un coinvolgente ritornello in tamil. La musica è ripresa da una canzone dello Sri Lanka, Surangini. La canzone è cantata da B Jayashree mentre la ballerina è Malavika Tara Mohanan, che impersona lo spirito indomabile della satira e della resistenza.
From visualsearch.org:
The music video will be released and screened in a program being organized by BAN (Bangaloreans Against Nuclearization) on the occasion of Hiroshima Day. The programme begins at 4 pm on August 6th at St Joseph's College, 36, Shanthinagar, Bangalore - 560 027.

The Agenda for C21
August 2003
HISTORY
We wrote the words to this song in late July 2003 in response to the ongoing Iraqi war. We recorded over August and went live on the net in September 2003. The song was reworked in March 2004 adding lead guitar and sax. We chose to use the tune and musical style of the traditional "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" for several reasons.
This song is instantly recognisable to many people throughout the world and has a long history of reflecting the suffering of those involved in war - mostly "Johnny" of course - but also the others who suffer from war: the innocents, non-combatants, medical personnel and families.
Patrick Gilmore said he derived his Civil War song from an Irish folk song "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye". Gilmore was born in Ireland, emigrating to America just before the Potato Famines.

What Would You Do?
da "Sonic Jihad"
Testo ripreso da questo sito
The song that really made heads turn was by Bay Area artist Paris who came out of retirement and released a 6 minute missive called What Would You Do? that went into great detail about The Caryle Group, Bush’s relationship to the Bin Laden family and the hawkish action plans of the Neo-cons serving in Bushs cabinet. Paris gave the song away for free and then followed it up with an entire antiwar album called Sonic Jihad which went on to sell over 200 thousand units. Another great anti-war cut off that album was ‘Sheep to the Slaughter‘.

Checkpoint Charlie
[1984]
Lyrics and music by Steven van Zandt
Testo e musica di Steven van Zandt
da/from "Voices of America"
Il Checkpoint Charlie era un valico di frontiera berlinese. In funzione dal 1945 al 1990, collegava il settore di occupazione sovietico (quartiere di Mitte) con quello americano (quartiere di Kreuzberg).
Era situato sulla Friedrichstraße, all'altezza dell'incrocio con Zimmerstraße. Era utilizzato solo da militari, diplomatici e cittadini stranieri in visita a Berlino.
Dopo la riunificazione il punto di controllo venne abbattuto e, tranne il museo del Muro, non rimaneva alcuna traccia della sua esistenza. Il 13 agosto 2000 ne venne inaugurata una ricostruzione fedele, divenuta in breve tempo di grande richiamo turistico.
Presso il Checkpoint Charlie ebbero alcune fughe molto spettacolari dalla DDR. Nei pressi, il 17 agosto 1962, fu colpito e lasciato morire dissanguato il diciottenne... (continua)
