Well, our Nobel Peace Prize-winning President is sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, for various hawkish, empirical, or politically calculated reasons. If I knew more than three anti-war songs offhand, I’d have made an entire playlist, but really, you only need this one to get the point:
Holy shit. I have a heart made of some sort of outer space rock with a Mohs Scale of Hardness rating of about 13. At least, that’s what I thought until Mason Jennings turned me into a blubbering mess by the bridge. Not sure I’ve ever heard so much genuine sadness in one song.

I’m making myself look bad, but I’d never listened to that song that closely. Holy shit, Mason. No wonder Wes worships him.

Holy shit indeed.
