The compilation features stars like Joe Strummer, Eddie Vedder, John Doe, Tom Waits, and the Murder City Devils. Recently, I got the opportunity to speak with Spaghetti about the West Memphis Three case and about the compo •• Looking at the band names and song titles on the comp, with bands like Killing Joke and Murder City Devils, and songs like "Fucking Hostile" and "WrathchHd," it seems like the Free the West Memphis Three CD itself mirrors perfectly the evidence used to prove that Jason Baldwin was Satanic. It's kind ofweird. The thing is, they were convicted for such ludicrous reasons, and all the evidence was brought up as character evidence, as some sort of proofthat they were evil people. A lot of people don't care ifthat hurt them. But the fact is that that sort ofthinking is wrong and we shouldn't kowtow to it. We shouldn't change what we do. ,Just because their thinking is character-proof, we shouldn't cater to it. So was this an intentional thing? The song selection definitely was. I mean, ifyou'll notice, they basically go from songs about people's feelings about the case and about the film to covers ofsongs from bands that the guys like. So yeah, v.e did do that directly. What songs were by bands that Jason Baldwin is a fan of? He's a fan of Pantera and Kelley Deal did the cover ofthe Pantera song, and for the same reason, Nashville Pussy did "Highway To Hen." ACjDC is one ofthe bands connected to the case. How does purchasing the CD help the actual kids in jail? The money from the CD goes to the justice watch, which is a non-profit organization which helps out vVTongly convicted people. And the money from the CD will also go directly to Jason, Damien, and Jessie, not so much for defense funds, because their defense fund is fine.

We designed it that ",.ray specifically because we want to send out a message that we really believe that they're going to get out. The Supersuckers are among the bands working to Free the West Memphis Three. L-R: The Heathman, Dancing Eagle, Eddie Spaghetti, Dan 'Thunder" Bolton How did you come to get involved with the West Memphis Three? Everybody who sees the film, the first thing they think about is, "what can I do?" For a lot ofpeople that could be donating money to the support fund or telling their friends about what's going on orjust talking about it. Then again, in my case, I have resources with which to put together a record like this. Have you met any of the kids personally? Yeah. I went down to Arkansas and visited Damien. I didn't get to .Jason. He was farther a\·vay. What were your impressions? Awesome. The guys were amazing. Incredibly positive. They're coming from a place where I don't understand and hope to never be able to understand. I hope never to be in a situation that bleak Jason, in particular, is amazing. He tutors at the prison school and he works with computers in the prison office and he's not just sitting there, bitter. I-Ie's trying to do something positive. It reminds me of something I found doing research http://www.ink19.com/issues/december2000/inkSpots/freeWestMemphisThree.html 05/14/2009
