Just Got Back (From Iraq and Nam)

"Just Got Back", an unprecedented Music Video, uses stunning unaired original photos from the Vietnam War, of Vietnam Veterans protesting 1972 Republican convention in Miami, of 1990s war-devastated Iraq, and of a modern thriving 2008 Vietnam, to show that life does return to normal in a land invaded and occupied by an aggressive military empire once that empire's military adventurism is finished and its armies have long been withdrawn. Also depicted is the plight of the empire's indentured conflicted soldiery.

"Just Got Back", the song, uses humor and irony, soaring idealism and practical expressionism to point the way to how to immediately improve the world - simply abandon military adventurism, a peaceful pragmatism.

Great, Larry!!! Just keep 'em coming - you'll have an album pretty soon and then time to create CD's for those of us who'd like to have one. There's a hint of 'Tommy' by the Who in your song, and I'd love to hear you sing some of the music they've written.

Brilliant lyrics, a powerful anti-war statement. The insertion of the photo of the little American boy about one third of the way through adds a deep layer of poignancy. Piltz does great work!
