It celebrates the 40th anniversary of the song by Edwin Starr WAR , written during the Vietnam War, but unfortunately the taste of regular delivery day and banned from radio (yet in 1991 and 2001) ...

War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise
Because it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers eyes
When their sons go to fight
And lose their lives
I said, war, huh
Good God, y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing
But a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Ooooh, war
It's an enemy to all mankind
The point of war blows my mind
War has caused unrest
Within the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die
Aaaaah, war-huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it, say it, say it
War, huh
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh
War, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all
War, huh, good God
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, it's got one friend
That's the undertaker
Ooooh, war, has shattered
Many a young mans dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and mean
Life is much to short and precious
To spend fighting wars these days
War can't give life
It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, whoa, Lord
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War, friend only to the undertaker
Peace, love and understanding
Tell me, is there no place for them today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
You tell me
Say it, say it, say it, say it
War, huh
Good God y'all
What is it good for
Stand up and shout it
Nothing

War EDWIN STARR
War,
What's the point? Absolutely nothing to
Say again
War, I despise Because it means
destruction of innocent lives
War is
tears To the eyes of thousands of mothers
When their son will fight
And they killed
War is a heartbreaker
War is the friend of the dead
undertaker War is the enemy of humanity
The goal of any war is a mystery to me
War has destabilized the younger generation Induction then destruction
: Who wants to die?
The war has shattered the dreams of many young people
making them disabled, bitter and nasty
Life is too short and precious To spend
to fight these days
War can not give
life It can only prevail
Peace, love and understanding
Why is there no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom But Lord knows
that there must be a better way

The British group Tindersticks cancels his tour in Israel!
2010 should be declared "Year of the cultural boycott of apartheid Israel." After the actors Meg Ryan and Dustin Hoffman, director Mike Leigh, authors Henning Mankell, Iain Banks and Alice Walker, the musicians Carlos Santana, Devendra Banhart, Tommy Sands, Elvis Costello, Gil Scott-Heron, Annie Lennox and groups The Klaxons, Gorillaz, The Pixies, Leftfield, Faithless and Massive Attack, Tindersticks is now surrendering to visit Israel!
An excerpt from their statement: "We thought that the music we do is beyond politics. In recent weeks, the pressure exerted on us by people and organizations close to us, showed us this is not the case. It is difficult to challenge a growing movement that we endorse the goals, even if we're not entirely convinced by their methods. " May
other artists realize that music, art, culture is never beyond political considerations, particularly in the Palestinian context ...
And here is one of their songs "apolitical", called Dying Slowly , whose title recalls even when the fate of Gaza, with the beautiful voice of Stuart Staples ...
