Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
	Recording information: 1964 - 2004.
	While the songs used for the actual soundtrack to Michael Moore's unprecedentedly successful anti-George W. Bush documentary FAHRENHEIT 9/11 were not all explicitly political (many were used for more strategic narrative purposes), the companion disc SONGS AND ARTISTS THAT INSPIRED FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is a different story altogether. The bulk of the songs very directly address topics central to the film (war, jingoism, political activism, et al). Thus, we have Bruce Springsteen delivering a heartfelt live version of Bob Dylan's early ballad "Chimes of Freedom," Dylan himself performing his classic anti-war tune "With God on Our Side," and Pearl Jam's live take on yet another great Dylan protest song, "Masters of War."
	Lest you think this is strictly a Dylan-fest, there's much more to be found here. Steve Earle offers the rabble-rousing rocker "The Revolution Starts Now," there's a live John Fogerty recording of his fire-breathing CCR gem "Fortunate Son," and the Black Eyed Peas even team up with Justin Timberlake for the tenderness plea "Where Is the Love?" Though Moore's film didn't affect the 2004 election the way he'd hoped, it made plenty of people stand up and notice, as will this "soundtrack sequel."
