Random Atoms For Peace

Did you know Flea (of RHCP) and Thom Yorke (of Radiohead) formed a supergroup...



I didn't, until I found out one night at Trivia... I did a little research after hearing a song off the album 'Eraser' by Yorke called Atoms For Peace...


I googled 'Atoms For Peace' hoping to get some info on the new group and instead learned...

(from Wiki)
"Atoms for Peace" was the title of a speech delivered by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower to the UN General Assembly in New York City on December 8, 1953.

'I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new—one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.'

The United States then launched an "Atoms for Peace" program that supplied equipment and information to schools, hospitals, and research institutions within the U.S. and throughout the world. The first nuclear reactors in Iran and Pakistan were built under the program by American Machine and Foundry.

Interesting... Thanks to Ike for sending nuclear technology to the Middle East, that didn't cause ANY problems...

Maybe I'm crazy late on this... whatever, I was pretty pumped to find out they (Atoms For Peace 'the band') will performing at 2010 Coachella!
