Plans being drawn up to emulate Woodstock for a new generation

In an exclusive interview today on the nationally syndicated Alex
Jones show, iconic musician Willie Nelson volunteered to take part
in a concert for 9/11 truth and as part of a campaign to stave off
an attack on Iran.
The country music superstar told listeners that some form of musical
event to help generate media attention would be a great idea if it
could be organized successfully.
In response to a caller’s suggestion to perform at a concert in aid
of 9/11 first responders and their families, as well as to raise the
profile of the 9/11 truth movement, Nelson responded:
“I would agree to both of those things in a minute.”
“I think people want to find a way to speak out and let their
emotions be heard, and that’s what you and I need to do, we’ll find
a hall or a field somewhere and we’ll go over there and do what we
can do.” The former Highwayman said.
“I love music and I love crowds, but there’s also something
gratifying about saying what you believe.” he continued.
The possible event has already been dubbed “Truthstock” by some,
after the legendary Woodstock festival in 1969. That concert
exemplified the counterculture of the late 1960s, taking place at a
time of intense protest of American involvement in the war with
Vietnam.
Nelson also spoke in length about Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s
brave effort to have George W. Bush impeached for war crimes, the
trashing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and a litany of
other abuses and high crimes.
“I’m concerned for Dennis (Kucinich) or anyone else who speaks out
against this administration because these guys are serious, people
love their power and they hate to give it up, their money and their
power is all they have and if they lose that they feel that they’ve
lost their divinity.” Nelson commented.
“I think Dennis has got to keep pounding on the door with
impeachment, I think that’s the key to stopping anything really
horrible coming up between now and September/October.” he
continued.Nelson also voiced his concern over the Bush
administration drive to attack Iran:
“We’re so close to a war with Iran and anything this guy does
between now and election day could spark it. I think an impeachment
hearing between now and then might slow the guy down, it might get
the attention of the world and us on trying to stop a guy who is
really intent on starting a war.”
Willie Nelson [1] made headlines last February when he forcefully
voiced his doubts about the official 9/11 story and exclusively told
the Alex Jones show that he thought the twin towers were imploded
like condemned Las Vegas casino buildings.
Nelson’s country music contemporaries The Dixie Chicks were savaged
by the establishment when they criticized the Bush administration
during shows shortly before the invasion of Iraq. More recently a
reformed Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young encountered strong reactions
when they took to the road in 2006 in a series of protest concerts.
If the proposed event goes ahead It will be extremely interesting to
see how it plays with the corporate media, which has thus far, in
the majority, restrained from reporting on Nelson’s statements and
support for the 9/11 truth movement.
