U.S. Turns to Doobie Bros. in Terrorism Fight or “What a Fool Believes”
As a member of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan, and as a session guitarist for Carly Simon, Bryan Adams, Ringo Starr and many others, Jeff “Skunk” Baxter has been a clandestine rock and roll hero since the ’70s. Now, as a specialist in terrorism, missile defense and chemical and biological warfare, he’s also a covert hero for the U.S. military.
He’s currently working for the Department of Defense as an adviser to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and has also served as a top military adviser for numerous congressmen and senators.
Along with a roster of high-power politicians and military men, Baxter — who learned everything he knows about military defense from reading war history books, technical weapons texts and defense manuals — is now playing a key role in determining how the U.S. can best protect itself against a major nuclear, chemical or biological attack. And while he may be a big fan of the music of John Lennon, he doesn’t believe in giving peace a chance, insisting that the mere threat of American military might isn’t enough to sway the behavior of radical fundamentalists.
Is this going to start a trend? What’s next, Supertramp on social policy?
