Oh what a wonderful movie [...] I loved every second of it and I'm sure that I'll go see it again. What a flawless movie [...] I honestly think that if the terrorists were to see this movie that they would stop hating us.

Well damn, after that I'll have to go see it. Larf!

On May 30th, 1990, Midnight Oil interrupted its North American tour for a "special guerilla action" on the crowded Avenue of the Americas in midtown Manhattan. The agit prop event was a live concert from the back of a flat-bed truck that eventually drew more than 10,000 people at the high noon hour. The Australian band took this chance to make public it's feelings on the planet's crumbling environment.

I watched the Midnight Oil 20,000 Watt DVD yesterday and was reminded of this performance during the "King Of The Mountain" clip. This clip contains some beautiful black + white footage of Manhattan during the concert. The cover is a particularly good image. I must track down the Black Rain Falls video.
