Spurlock + Swift = Bin Laden Trackdown
I turn over today's morning Morphizm post to pal Rob Swift, who has some good news about Morgan Spurlock and bad news about Osama bin Laden:
Remember that documentary Super Size Me? The one where film maker Morgan Spurlock addresses Americans eating habits by using himself as a human guinea pig by strictly dieting on McDonald's for 30 days, just to see what the affects of eating McDonald's for breakfast, lunch and dinner would have on his health.
Well it was nominated for an Academy Award in 2004 and Spurlock's new movie Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden? might land him another nomination. Spurlock's second film revolves around his search for the world's most wanted man and that's where I come in. There's a scene in the film that contains an excerpt from a song I composed entitled "Terrorism."
Yes, Morgan Spurlock licensed one of the tracks off my last solo album War Games.
It's been roughly three years since I dropped War Games, an album (coupled with a DVD) that tackles my thoughts on social/political issues like 911, Terrorism, the Iraq War, police brutality and poverty with the turntable as my microphone and scratches as my voice. So it definitely feels good to know the hard work I've invested into WAR GAMES is being recognized by someone like Morgan Spurlock. Big thanks go out to Barry Cole for submitting "Terrorism" for placement in the film. Thank you Barry!!!
Many of you have already heard "Terrorism" but if you haven't, just visit my MySpace page and check it out. It's the first song on my player. And please go see Spurlock's new film. It's been seven years since 9/11 and unfortunately, it feels like a lot of Americans have pushed the entire event into the back of their minds. Almost as if the fear of surviving another terrorist attack has gave way to the fear of surviving our current economy. They caught us sleeping on September 11, 2001 and I swear it feels like we've been gradually dozing off the last few years. So for those that need a wake up call, set your alarms to this Friday (April 18th) and GO SEE IT!!
