This book is AWESOME.
When we played in South Korea in 08 with the Passion World Tour, I became increasingly interested in North Korea and the whole situation with them versus the world. Hearing some first hand accounts from people in South Korea about how it (North Korea) was basically like walking into the early 80s. Interesting indeed.
A few days ago I came across this website, vbs.tv, that does grassroots independent journalism, and lo and behold, they did a 14 part video piece about N. Korea. The premise is simple, they snuck in and taped what they weren’t allowed to to expose what that whole world is all about. If you have some time, I’d really recommend watching some of it to get a glimpse of something you never knew existed.

Just found a real life nimbus 3000!
Been sitting on the runway @ DFW for two hours so far. It sucks to fly today.
All I can say is, “Wow….”
*Soapbox* No matter where you sit politically, we as Americans really don’t need to/cannot afford to forget this. There ARE still people trying to make this (or something worse) happen again and it terrifies me and should terrify you. I’m on at least 4 flights a week, and I have absolutely NO problems with the TSA checking my bags thoroughly. You’d figure that I’d get annoyed with them, but I’d rather err on the side of safety. Also, I think the full body imaging scanner is a great idea and have no issues with that either. We, the band, after going through TSA so many times, have a laundry list of things you could do to smuggle things through. Some of the security lapses are HUGE and would scare you if I told you. Mike D is in the process of writing them about these, but are they going to enforce all these little things? Probably not. The fact of the matter is, we must stay vigilant. Like Batman. *Off soapbox*
