Annotation
Moving Finger, a punk band formed in 2013 in Memphis, Tennessee, by J.B. Horrell (member of the garage punk band Ex-Cult), and featuring his wife Laurel Horrell (drums) and Patrick Glass (bass). (1) This album included the short, 49 second song "P.O.W. / M.I.A." (Goner Records # 102 GONE), containing one verse and chorus, repeated twice, which asked Uncle Sam to "find my brother...all alone in prison" in "crazy Vietnam". Thus, this returned to the 1970s/80s trend of suggesting that prisoners of war remain in Vietnam and that the government needed to do more to bring them home.& Vietnam War: Punk Songs
