IMAGINE'S 'Masters of War' scores big., November 22, 2005
This review is from: Imagine (Audio CD)
If one song can make a CD (and many have before), then 'Masters of War' should do it for IMAGINE. Not that the rest of this CD isn't great (I have not yet heard it), but I just heard Parker, Parker-Namdar et al. perform Masters of War (music and lyrics by Bob Dylan) from their CD on the recently released DVD 'Poison Dust'. 'Dust' documents our country's scandalous use of Depleted Uranium in battlefield weapons since 1990, its destructive affects (permanent nuclear poisoning of participants and the environment, and hideous birth defects in future offspring), and our government's efforts to avoid disclosure, responsibility, and cessation of what's happening. The song, Masters of War, so beautifully arranged and performed by Parker and company, is a call to arms, in Dylan's understated but powerful way (as appropriate today as when he wrote it), for all Americans to standup, speak out, and stop the madness. I'm ordering IMAGINE right now and recommending it to my friends.
