StoneMtn Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 CookieMonster, where can I see his Iraq Diaries? I know someone who was given a copy at one of his shows, but she loaned it out and can't seem to get it back. I'd love to see those, though. Is there an online link to the diaries somewhere?

CookieMonster Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I just read them straight off of his website. It was amazing to realize how really skewed(sp?) the media's veiw of Iraq was (is) after reading such a brutally honest firsthand account. And not just Iraq but Israel as well. How we see the Israelis and Palestinians from over here is VERY different from how things actually are over there according to his diary. It's such an incredible read!

StoneMtn Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Thanks ... you crazy, blue, glutton! I look forward to reading these, as I have been interested to see them ever since I heard that Franti literally strapped on a guitar and walked around Iraq playing tunes for everyone who would listen because, of course, Everyone deserves music.

Kaidy Mae Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Thanks CookieMonster! Looks like that'll be a good read to get me through the last few hours of work. :: Ahhh, nothing beats a Thursday like a Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
