A ReMix
Here is a cover for the Greg Graffin album "American Lesion":
I think this is an interesting remix with an interesting social/cultural message. Just putting it out there.
When I first saw it, I couldn't tell if it said American Legion at the top or American Lesion. If American Lesion, that has added meaning in light of the 43 + million Americans without health coverage and the many other millions who are undercovered. Maybe this flag has something to say about such lesions in the healthcare system.
That's an interesting view on the flag. I'm not sure that that is what was meant though. The album was released in November 1997 and I am unsure of the statistics of the nation at that time. Graffin made this album after his divorce and he also altered the tempo of the song "Cease" to this album from the faster, harder version that Bad Religion produced earlier.

Sergio...it is an interesting remix. Are those broken hearts?
They are broken hearts and money symbols.

The album is called American Lesion.

Thanks. That is helpful to know. I'll try to track down Graffin's album.
