Mr. Chomsky,

You can file this email under bizarre requests, and if you're completely opposed to this, I apologize in advance for wasting your time.

I play in a rock band called 'Vacuity'. There is an audio clip from one of your lectures that we would like to use in a music video we are creating. We are not a political band by definition, but while writing and recording our newest record we were certainly influenced by some of your political work.

The song sort of deals with the concept that on one side it's called an 'Intervention' on the other side it's called 'Terrorism' and vice versa.

If you want song lyrics, recording, etc. I can send them to you. Here is a link to some music in case you have time to check it out:

Thanks. My mentality here is: there is no harm in asking.

Best,

Greg Osborn
