Yesterday, while I was studying for round two of my exams, I was listening to my iTunes library on shuffle. To my surprise, the Gary Jules remake of ‘Mad World‘ started playing. About an hour or so earlier, I finished listening to a Free Talk Live podcast. Just as the first chorus of ‘Mad World‘ began, a thought occurred to me. Some of the issues addressed in that particular podcast meshed very well with the tone and meaning of the song that I was currently listening to. So, I decided to make this mix. Its not put together very well, Its just quotes from the episode dubbed over the song, but I think it strikes a very emotional chord. The parts quoted are actually from an on-air reading of the article ‘In Case I Disappear‘ by William Rivers Pitt. It addresses the term ‘enemy combatant’ and the recent bill passed by congress to define it. Take a minute or two and listen. If you have even more time, read the article. I think you might just learn something.

Here is the link to the song in case you missed it the first time:
