What's In a Name ?


With reference to "In God We Trust" Why is it used? Who is it used for? Where does it come from? Good questions I think. The name is for my band/alter ego come pet project. Its derived from the saying on the back of the $ bill. As such it has a resonance within these days. The bill in question was over my first Atari computer so has come to stand for the electronic music produced by my self since then. Its for all, a reference to money, god and the American way. It also outlines deeper ideas. The effect it has world wide can be found in a small book by Karl Marx and Engles called Wages, Prices and Profits. It it he out lines the "Boom and Bust" of todays capitalism. Way ahead of his time !! Check Marx out at Karl Marx
