We're Back At It!“We’re a business, not the Bible.”
2004: The Iraq War festers in a faraway desert. Phil Nerges arrives in Baghdad as a civilian contractor, known as a camp follower, to provide non-military services to the US Army. He spends two years living at the edge of the battlefield. There is no victory parade when he returns home. Many of his fellow contractors did not. They weren’t even counted as casualties of war. 2006: Phil, suffering from PTSD, takes residence with The Slackers front man Vic Ruggiero in New Jersey and begins to write about his experiences. Vic and Phil decide to collaborate on a concept album featuring Phil’s writings and Vic’s eclectic swath of musical prowess. 2013: After having performed the album many times, Phil and Vic approach Letter of Marque to help with a reading of a new play Phil has written based on the same material. But Letter of Marque is inspired to take it a step beyond that. |
