Musician to Sing the Links Between Trade, U.S.' Big Media

NEW YORK - Disgusted that "the media is no longer reporting the stories that really matter", British folk-rocker Billy Bragg is taking his message directly to the people with a 'Tell Us The Truth' U.S. tour that brims with outrage over corporate swashbucklers and talking head tele-zombies.

"You could argue that the goal of this tour is to discover why a majority of the American people believe that Saddam Hussein was in some way responsible for 9/11," Bragg told IPS.

"Since that awful day in 2001, the facts about who perpetrated such an atrocity and why have been obscured by propaganda and conspiracy theory alike. The Bush administration was able to sell the invasion of Iraq to the people because the mainstream media failed to inform the American public of the facts," he said.

When the first show kicks off on Nov. 7, Bragg will be joined by R&B legend Lester Chambers, country-blues guitarist Steve Earle and Audioslave's Tom Morello, who is performing under the moniker 'The Nightwatchman'.

I should pm KG and see if he wants to go...

I'll pm you later.

I'd go if my concert budget wasn't way over. :(

And check out Morello's amazing "Axis of Justice" activist website:
