    Australian Folklore 26, 2011 147 Contemporary Soldier Stories and the Game of Propaganda: The War on Terror, and some Folkloric Reflections on the War in Iraq A. Asbjørn Jøn ABSTRACT: This paper explores the world of confusion of identity, purpose and hurt associated with the various ‘western’ forces involved in this Allied campaign against ‘Terror’, with special reference to the war in Iraq. The treatment is associated with propaganda, song, trauma, Australian perceptions of, and attitudes to, all of this conflict. Song, WikiLeaks, etc. are explored, and the whole is linked to the earlier Australian culture of the folk-rock track, ’I was Only Nineteen’. ‘A hero of war Is that what they see Just medals and scars So damn proud of me And I brought home that flag Now it gathers dust But it’s the flag that I love It’s the only flag I trust.’1 The America-led War on Terror haunts a great number of men and women across the globe—from those who have been the subjects of enquiries and detention, to the whanau (the bereft women) of those who have been lost in conflict, and so, too, to the very soldiers themselves who have participated in it. Coupled with the popular culture accounts, we have seen countless news reports, and narrative ‘true story’ books, about the tales of individual soldiers who served within the conflict.2 One overwhelming similarity runs through most of these accounts—a deep pain and sorrow about the events of the ‘War on Terror’ and the emotional and physical scars that it has left on not only individuals, but on proximate and other societies as a whole—as shown in Andrew 1 Rise Against, ‘Hero of War’, on Appeal to Reason (DGC/Interscope, 2008: Audio CD), Track 10.

Black Market" Da martedì 15 luglio Di "The Black Market" il cantante e chitarrista Tim McIlrath dice: "I Rise Against sono sempre stati una band politica, ma anche una band personale. Abbiamo sempre scritto canzoni che tengono un piede in LA REDAZIONE entrambi i mondi. Questo album è molto più introspettivo del solito." L'intensità melodica del primo singolo "I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore" è un esempio lampante di quello che afferma il gruppo: è un brano che poggia su un ritornello potente e parla di temi universali come [email protected] il sentirsi in trappola e il desiderio di fuga. SPETTACOLINEWS.IT Tim McIlrath, il bassista Joe Principe, il chitarrista Zach Blair e il batterista Brandon Barnes hanno registrato questo disco tra gennaio e marzo di quest'anno ai Blasting Room Studios a Fort Collins, Colorado con i produttori Bill Stevenson e Jason Livermore. "Ho sottostimato cosa le canzoni dei Rise Against possono essere, cosa sono I testi e come possono a volte portarti nel lato oscuro" - racconta Tim - "ero abituato ad entrare e uscire dalle canzoni indenne ma mentre eravamo in studio per scrivere questo album ho fatto molta fatica ad allontanarmene. Sguazzavo nella tristezza e nell'angoscia delle canzoni". Questa la tracklist del disco: "The Great Die-off", "I Don't want to be here Anymore", "Tragedy + Time", "The Black Market", "The Eco-Terrorist in me", "Sudden Life", "A Beautiful Indifference", "Methadone", "Zero Visibility", "Awake too long", "People Live Here", "Bridges".

Rise Against’s second tour stop in Long Beach, however, holds special significance for the group as they have the honor and privilege to share the stage with The Descendents. While The Descendents may not mean much to the average fan, for Principe and the rest of Rise Against, it really is something special. “The Decendents are the sole reason I learned how to play bass … they are truly one of my main influences,” Principe says. The April 7 show at the Long Beach Arena will be the first time in 14 years the Descendents have performed in Southern California. With Endgame only being out for a handful of weeks now, it has already garnered airplay with the group’s first single, “Help Is On The Way.” Lead singer and co-founder Tim McIlrath composed the song about his experiences in New Orleans while on a tour break, and speaks about the massive amounts of devastation Agents for Change Rise AgAinst’s sixth Album looks to ReinfoRce the Band’s messAge foR hope In speaking to Joe Principe, co-founder it fresh with every record and I think we he witnessed in the wake of Hurricane and bass player of Rise Against, one thing succeeded with that.” Katrina.

According to Ryan Sullivan, the GSA president, "the chalking done by the GSA [was] to make people feel safe ... ". Shortly after the chalking was done, however, quotes from Leviticus appeared underneath chalking done by the GSA. [n places such as Olin and the main gates, the phrase "You shall not lie with a male and with a female." - Leviticus 18:22 was chalked next to the GSA writings. Also, in Reimert courtyard an openly hateful phrase was scrawled in chalk, able to be viewed by the entire campus.

The hardcore music scene represents a radical departure from contemporary society. Rejecting the materialism, militarism, and hedonism of the mainstream music scene—and, by extension, modern culture—hardcore music presents an alternative lifestyle rooted in solidarity, equality, and liberty. Indeed, the culture of the hardcore scene approaches a transitive, nomadic model of an anarchistic commune built on resistance as a way of life.
