Filmmakers Alison Maclean (Jesus' Son) and Tobias Perse, a former Rolling Stone assistant editor, do nothing more than interview a dozen New York Arabs and Muslims arrested after 9/11 and held for weeks and years by the Bush Justice Department. No explanation is given, other than they are persons of interest. The callous inequity of what you see and hear will floor you. It can't happen here. But it did. It does.

“The Pretender”

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
