Brian Eno on Propaganda.

Here's Brian Eno (yeah, that Brian Eno) in an essay in The Guardian called "Lessons in how to lie about Iraq":

How exactly did it come about that, in a world of Aids, global warming, 30-plus active wars, several famines, cloning, genetic engineering, and two billion people in poverty, practically the only thing we all talked about for a year was Iraq and Saddam Hussein? Was it really that big a problem?

(This month, by the way, is the 30th anniversary of Eno's album Here Come The Warm Jets; read M. Ace's blog entry on "a Jackson Pollock painting rendered as a sculpture in motion." And in a couple of years it'll be Another Green World's turn!)
