It's hard to find a modern political song that isn't ham-fisted hectoring or half-baked hippie-style pleas for a general idea of peace and that has a lot to do with why I find Mike Doughty's song "Fort Hood" so moving. He and writer/producer/comedian Bex Schwartz recently shot a video for the song, without support from Doughty's label. Check it out:
If you're seeking clarity as to the song's meaning, check out Doughty's blog post on the subject. For further reading, dig another Doughty blog post about why he chose to release it now.

It really catches you by surprise, doesn't it?
So nice to not feel angry or depressed by a political song.
Nice, nice work.
