R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails Join Campaign To Close Guantanamo Bay

Thu, 22 Oct 2009


The list of musicians is very impressive. Many of them are in the Rock&Roll hall of fame in Cleveland. Unfortunately this list and the artists’ music is associated with one of the blackest marks in American history- the torturing of prisoners at Guantanamo.

Their songs are played at ear bleeding high volume to prisoners there. Many of the artists, who have supported progressive causes throughout their careers, are outraged.

On Tuesday, the artists joined a coalition asking the Obama Administration to close down the terror suspect camp at Guantanamo Bay.

R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Rosanne Cash, Steve Earle and Billy Bragg announced their support for the National Campaign to Close Guantanamo, according to The Associated Press.

Among the songs reportedly played at high volumes near prisoners in the detention camp are death-metal band Deicide’s “F—- Your God,” Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” the Meow Mix cat food jingle, music from “Sesame Street,” Don McLean’s “American Pie,” Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.,” Nine Inch Nails’ “March of the Pigs,” Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” the “I Love You” song from the children’s show “Barney,” as well as tunes by R.E.M., Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Britney Spears, the Bee Gees, Marilyn Manson, and others.

Oh Yeah, just for reference, the group Drowning Pool has not objected to the use of its music at Guantanamo Bay and other U.S. detention sites.
