Wayne Kramer redefined rock 'n roll guitar as a member of the extreme Detroit band, The MC5... David Was is one of the founding brothers behind Was (Not Was) and one of the greatest lyricists on Earth.
Pat Tillman turned down a $3.2 million offer to re-sign with the Arizona Cardinals in order to enlist in the Army following 9-11. While serving in Afghanistan, he grew critical of the war and Bush's policies. He was scheduled to meet with activist Noam Chomsky upon his return from the middle east but was killed by 'friendly fire' - three shots to the forehead fired from 10 yards away. Military and congressional investigations have yet to establish a credible account of the circumstances surrounding his death.
what a horrible mess of a song. maybe they should've all played the same one.

@stuka52 DON'T ever forget Michael Strank. He was a flag raiser at Iwo Jimo, and he was killed by friendly fire. Ira Strank cried on his mother's shoulder, saying he was the greatest man he'd ever known...

@stuka52 Look at the first Iraq war. Most of the casualties were US killing Canadians.

As sad as it was how Pat Tillman died (friendly fire) it is not that rare. I've seen stats from WWII that estimated possibly 30% of all casualities were from friendly fire. Viet Nam about the same.

God bless Pat Tillman. His death was a screw-up, and it's terrible that OUR government covered it up, but only IDIOTS believe his death was decided...

@CecilTheSeaMonster If you scroll down, you'll find the post where Noam Chomsky was accused of ordering Tillman's death. So take it up with whoever posted that.

No, only foolish & paranoid conspiracy theorists like you put together things like that, in your own minds, & then proceed to spread the word as if it were real. LOLZ.

@CecilTheSeaMonster Yes, but did Professor Calculus put together a conspiracy by which american soldiers deliberately fired on a celebrity simply to make people hate war more?

A good song is a good song, whether or not you agree with the politics. Has a cool Tom Waits feel.
