This is a Lie

War Is a Lie is a thorough refutation of every major argument used to justify wars, drawing on evidence from numerous past wars, with a focus on those wars that have been most widely defended as just and good.

In 2008, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon acquired a painting called The Flight into Egypt which was attributed to the French artist Nicolas Poussin. Thought to have been painted in 1657, the painting had gone missing for more than three centuries. Several versions were rediscovered in the 1980s and one was passed from hand to hand, from a family who had no idea of its value to gallery owners and eventually to the museum. A painting that had been sold as a decorative object in 1986 for around 12,000 euros was acquired two decades later by the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon for 17 million euros.

And now a very good 2-CD bootleg from a concert at Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA, July 5, 2008. Godfatherecords has issued this release in their customary and exquisite tri-fold tasteful packaging with gorgeous pictures and informative liner notes. The sound quality is about as perfect as one can expect without exception. This is a momentous release in particular for any Tom Waits fans but I do encourage other risk takers to give Mr. Waits a shot here and feel confident that he will not disappoint !!!!
