Double bass Kurt found out he was drafted. He experiences some mixed and
confusing emotions. First, he wants to play music. Second, his feelings
about patriotic duties are challenged by the fact that he has been wholeheartedly
committed to a cause of peace. And third, he joined a non-violence movement;
many times he attended meetings with Michael
Moore and participated in anti-war manifestations. Kurt was somehow consoled
in this state of being reluctant by an appointment to the Army
Orchestra.
