Was casting about the InterWeb for something unrelated today when I came across Nathan Berg. He’s an economics professor at UT-Dallas, a former Fulbright scholar, and a musician who fronts a band called Halliburton(s). He’s been in the news in recent years protesting the Iraq War.
His songwriting has turned its attention to the current economic troubles. I’m not sure which moment I enjoy more in the video for “Right Now” (embedded below): The Wealth of Nations and John Maynard Keynes being read by men at urinals, or when Berg puts a question mark on a “Job Fair” sign. He’s making a profound statement? I report. You decide.
