it's a good one alright...i really wanted to put STIFF LITTLE FINGERS's' "Is That What You Fought The War For?" up as well but that one is so obscure youtube doesn't even have it. Ok, now in search of Richie Havens's "Handsome Johnny" as the second anti-war tune for today.
Mauigirl. You are correct. Eric Bogle's version is also available on Youtube but there's some sort of posting restriction on it and I sort of like the MacGowan version just a bit better anyway.
(1) "At one time, I thought you were slightly intelligent, though too dumb to know that you bore the fuck out of people...I don’t give a damn about KU. I like the people, not their sports teams. There’s a difference, ya know. Either study some business, finance, law, and interntioanl politics…You’re a fool Kelso.With this statement, you said it yourself. Learn to read before flapping your gums. You are empty wind, with a foul smell.Where I come from, we have a name for that..."
[PROP NOTE: AFTER THE RESULT OF THE 2008 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP, THE ABOVE STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTED IN RED HAD TO BE ONE OF THE ALL -TIME CLASSICS. MIND YOU THIS WAS WRITTEN BEFORE KU HAD EVEN HELD OFF NC. WHOEVER WROTE THOSE WORD IS THE CONTRA-INDICATOR OF ALL TIME. TRY TO GET HIS OPINION ON ENERGY FUTURES.]
(2) "...Peerhaps (sic) it was that fabrication was your specialty in your study of business, finance, and law..."
(3) "What I love most is the way you sum up your opinion so succinctly.Regards,Tengrain"

This will go well with my Tom Waites post.
"Tom Traubert's Blues."
"...no one speaks English and everything's broken..."
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES
This is such a great anti-war song. Eric Bogle wrote it I believe. (Love Tom Waites too).
