Springsteen, Young, Pearl Jam make anti-war soundtrack.

“Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Peal Jam have contributed tunes to the anti-war soundtrack for a documentary about a U.S. soldier paralyzed in Iraq. The 30-song, two-disc album ‘Body of War: Songs That Inspired an Iraq War Veteran’ will be released March 18 via Warner Music’s Sire Records label. All proceeds from the sale of the album will benefit Iraq Veterans Against the War.”

2. Count me in! I'll be buying this--although I suspect I already own all of the songs...

because I have all of the latest soundtracks from these artists. Anyway, to applaud their effort and support this cause, I will repurchase things!

ON EDIT: Never mind--there are going to be new tracks, too. Anyway, I can't think of a better cause to support I've marked my calendar and I will buy this release on the date it comes out. I can't wait!
