Selections from Skidmark Bob's fine 2011 audio collage on the horrors and futility of the US's recent wars. An engaging mix of Hollywood film clips, TV news clips, new and old music--and a good British documentary about the experiences of soldiers, in a doomed outpost in Afghanistan, slowly being wiped out by the Taliban.
Musical highlights include a stunning update of Country Joe's "Feels Like I'm Fixin' to Die"--plus original (1965) AND punk-rock versions of "Eve of Destruction."
