This week, rock legend Pete Townshend of The Who released Truancy, a compilation of some of his best solo work. Truancy also contains two new songs.
One of the new songs, Guantanamo, deals with issues of indefinite detention:
Down in Guantanamo We still got the ball and chain
Down in Guantanamo We still got the ball and chain
That pretty piece of Cuba Resolved to cause men pain
When you light up in Cuba You won't feel the same again
Down in Guantanamo Still waiting for the big cigars
Read more of the song (and listen to the song) here.
Hopefully more artists will follow Pete Townshend's lead and address the government's assault on our liberties.
