Cover art for Shock & Awe lyrics by You, Me, and Everyone We Know

In the movie "Me and You and Everyone We Know" (which is more than likely where the band name came from) there's a sign in a contemporary art building that says "Shock & Awe: Images of War. 1965 - 2005"

Just recently watched the film and thought this was a really neat reference.
