Selections from Skidmark Bob's 2011 audio collage on the horrors and futility of the US's recent wars. An engaging mix of Hollywood film clips, TV news, 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."
