The Man With The Red Face

If there is ever a connection between Jackie Chan (Hong Kong martial arts superstar) and Laurent Garnier (French "techno" pioneering DJ and producer), it would have been, strangely, War by Edwin Starr.

War! huh-yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh

War! huh-yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again y'all

Laurent Garnier spun this back in 2003 during one of those "legendary" nights in the midst of the current Iraq mess. Jackie Chan included this 1970 Vietnam War protest song by Edwin Starr in his Hollywood smash Rush Hour in 1998 with totally lousy singing by Jackie.

See you on Friday.
