On the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, I collaborated with Lee Montgomery on a musical protest: the star spangled banner played backwards five times. If I remember right, we had the anthem as interpreted by Jimmy Hendrix, Dolly Parton, John Phillips Sousa, Rosanne Bar, and one real old timey classic version too. Lee was broadcasting with Neighborhood Public Radio in the Whitney Biennial.
