For Iraq War vet Tomas Young, Eddie Vedder, Bruce Springsteen, Tom
Morello and Bright Eyes aren’t just rock stars — they’re his lifelines.
“They keep me going every day to continue in this struggle,” says
Young, who was paralyzed from the chest down when his Humvee was
ambushed in Baghdad in 2004. “They remind me that there are things
bigger than myself.” ... “Too often, acts of resistance against this
war are tepid,” says Tom Morello, who lent the Nightwatchman’s
“Battle Hymns” to the album. He will perform the song at the film’s
premiere screening at the South By Southwest festival on March 13th,
where Harper and Tankian are also set to play. - RollingStone
