America: Freedom to Fascism
Aaron Russo is determined to find the law that requires Americans to pay income tax and through his examination exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America.
Through interviews with US Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents, tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, voter fraud, the national identity card and the implementation of radio frequency identification technology to track citizens. A striking case about the evolving police state in America.

Crush With Eyeliner
In The Big Sleep (which is my absolute favorite Bogart film), Lauren Bacall sings this song which MUST HAVE served for the basis of Stipe / R.E.M.'s Cruch with Eyeliner, but I can only find one other person on the whole internet er google who is aware of this fact.
Any film & music scholars out there that can weigh in?
