A couple of dozen people in Kiev on Tuesday marked the fifth anniversary of the death of Protsyuk, who was killed at age 35 when a U.S. tank shell hit the Palestine Hotel that served as the headquarters for international journalists in Baghdad as troops entered the Iraqi capital April 8, 2003.

Body of War is Tomas' coming home story as he evolves into a new person, coming to terms with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. The film is produced and directed by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro, and features two original songs by Eddie Vedder. Body of War is a naked and honest portrayal of what it's like inside the body, heart and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man. National openings featuring Q&A with Phil Donahue, Ellen Spiro & Tomas Young's mom Cathy Smith begin this week in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Berkeley, Seattle, LA, San Diego, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

I have the music from Body of War - the DVD has not come out yet. There are a lot of songs on this CD - 30 in total. Some of them are old anti-war songs - like "Masters of War" (done by Pearl Jam, not Bob Dylan). But a lot of them are new ones, and there are a few in there that I really, really like - the song "NO MORE" by Eddie Vedder & Ben Haper is very, very good. I have been a fan of Michael Franti for some time, and they included his song "LIGHT UP YA LIGHTER" on this CD. I like to get in my car, turn the CD player up to max, and then drive around playing those two songs, and singing along. Of course, it is so loud that you really cannot hear my singing. A number of songs on the CD are good songs, but contain language that cannot be played on the radio. I personally don't care about cuss words, but I might feel differently if I had young children. I recommend this CD! HIGHLY!
