When was Eddie "formerly" of Pearl Jam???????
‘Body of War’ soundtrack speaks to Tomas Young, subject of documentary
Young’s creative team: Eddie Vedder, formerly of Pearl Jam, who wrote a song for the film’s score, and co-directors Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue.
Tomas Young told Rolling Stone that the songs on the “Body of War” soundtrack “inspired, motivated and, at times, literally saved me.” He found inspiration and salvation in 30 songs that span the spectrum of popular music.
The two-disc, 30-track collection (due in stores March 18) opens with a lovely electric-folk hymn: “Hero’s Song” by singer-songwriter Brendan James. The song’s protagonist, a soldier who volunteered to fight, wonders aloud why so many “beautiful young statues must fall,” then expresses grave doubts about the battle that has erupted around him:
I hear the world like a cannon roar / Say I can win this war / I promise them this / Isn’t what I signed up for …
“Hero’s Song” doesn’t typify what follows; much of “Body of War” is the voice of protest — a blitzkrieg of defiance, anger, indignation. In the rock-reggae anthem “Light Up Ya Lighter,” Michael Franti declares, This one’s nothing like Vietnam / Except for the bullets, except for the bombs / Except for the youth that’s gone. Then: The war on terror is a war on peace.
Those voices get even more incendiary in tracks from Rage Against the Machine (“Guerrilla Radio”) and Public Enemy, which roars, “He’s the son of a baaad man!” in “Son of a Bush.”
Not everyone’s anger is directed at the war and foreign policy. Lupe Fiasco’s “American Terrorist” confronts domestic realities like the cycle of crime and the grind of economic oppression: Give black man crack, Glocks to teens, give red man craps, slot machines …
The weather settles a bit on the second disc, which leads off with Bruce Springsteen’s “Devils and Dust” and Pearl Jam’s cover of “Masters of War.” John Lennon is represented here, too, in “Gimme Some Truth.” So are Neil Young (“The Restless Consumer”) and Tom Waits, who expresses the hope that sustains a lonely, disillusioned soldier from Rockford, Ill., in “The Day After Tomorrow”:
It is so hard / And it’s cold here / And I’m tired of taking orders / And I miss my old Rockford town / Up by the Wisconsin border …
Tomas Young gives the younger generation of counterculture singer-songwriters a chance to speak, too, including Bright Eyes (“When the President Talks to God”) and Kimya Dawson (“Anthrax”).
But the featured track on “Body of War” is “No More,” a new song from Eddie Vedder written especially for Young, “a man who gave for this land, took a bullet in the back for his pain.” The live version here, with Ben Harper, sounds like taproot ’60s protest-folk: a guitar and two voices joined in a call to arms: Some will hear in its words nothing more than hippie militancy or left-wing propaganda; others, like the man it was written for, will find sanctuary and camaraderie — their version of the truth. And that, above all, is what this collection of dynamic songs illustrates most dramatically: the power of unbound speech.

What do you think we do when the rockmelon section starts to get depleted?
since he left. PJ will be better off without him anyway.
I've heard that PJ will now perform as a Barber Shop Quartet
You're not wrong there. $3.98 EACH!! Tell 'em they're dreaming
The thing that shits me where I shop is that it costs more to buy 1/2 a rockmelon than a whole one
Get well soon Sammy!!
I guess you have to pay for the actual labour that goes into slicing and wrapping the rockmelon.
My time is valuable you know?
