http://afsc.org/iraq/cray-video.htm Last November 1, as the sun rose over a farm near Dover, New Hampshire the Eyes Wide Open crew once again began laying out more than two thousand pairs of boots representing the U.S. military personnel killed in Iraq. But this was not a standard stop on the nation-wide tour of AFSC’s acclaimed anti-war exhibit. The boots were being prepared to play a role in a music
video for blues musician Robert Cray’s poignant new song, “Twenty”,
telling the story of a young soldier, who questions his mission in Iraq,
but is killed before his deployment is up. The video, directed by Robert Cray’s wife, Susan
Turner-Cray stars Aidan Delgado, a 23-year-old Iraq-war veteran who served
in Nasiriyah and at Abu Ghraib prison, before securing conscientious objector
status and returning to the U.S. David Goodman, one of the Eyes Wide Open
tour managers, has a cameo role in the video as a Vietnam Veteran. |
