West Memphis Three freed

Just stumbled on this today:

In case anyone wonders why I bring it up, Mark contributed the track "Untitled Lullaby" to the "Free the West Memphis Three" album back in 2000. These are the three teens who were convicted of murdering three little boys, and it was argued that much of the reason they were arrested and convicted had to do with the music they listened to and the fact that they dressed in black.

Ya gotta watch those black t-shirts lurking in the back of the closet....never know what sort of trouble they'll get you into.

tis a pity that they had to technically plead guilty and were freed on time served.
