Godspeed You! Questioned

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Questioned as Suspected Terrorists, Continue World Tour
Renowned Canadian nontet Godspeed You! Black Emperor were held for questioning as possible terrorists at an Oklahoma gas station last weekend, while driving from a concert they'd played at Fort Worth, TX's Ridglea Theatre to a show to be held the following Monday at the Blue Note in Columbia, MO. According to Tom Windish, a representative for the band at The Billions Corporation, the band pulled their two vans and white-panel truck, which they use for toting equipment, into an area gas station to refuel. Upon seeing the motley crew of nine musicians, the station's attendant phoned the police, reporting the possibility that the band might be terrorists.

Beastie Boys Issue Anti-War Mp3

Beastie Boys announced today that they would be making the brand new track "In A World Gone Mad" available for free download effective immediately.

"We felt it was important to comment on where the US appears to be heading now," explained Beastie Boy Adam Yauch. "A war in Iraq will not resolve our problems. It can only result in the deaths of many innocent civilians and US troops. If we are truly striving for safety, we need to build friendships, not try to bully the rest of the world." Click the link at the top of this article to download the track. Peace.
