this may not be what you're after but The Mothers Of Invention did a pretty
good piece criticizing war toys back in 1966: Uncle Bernie's Farm, on the
Absolutely Free album.
which reminds me...in my opinion the soundtrack to the antiwar media is not
as awesome as it should be. when i turn on Pacifica radio, etc., too often
it's either message-hip-hop or folkie protest stuff. not all of it is bad
(some of it really is, though) but the overall blend gets monotonous.
why can't these people who have critical political outlooks and take time to
challenge the status quo do the same in their cultural/listening habits?
