Big Al Whittle	BS: No poppies for me (342* d)	RE: BS: No poppies for me	24 Nov 16
of course more civilians than soldiers were killed in WW2. i don't really do anti war songs, unless i'm requested to do it. though tobe honest - my way into folk music was The Kingston Trio singing Where have all the flowers gone. the only spontaneous anti war statement i make is to do the isle of capri/love is the sweetest thing. i do this in remembrance of al bowlly who copped one of Goerings bombs - after doing a gig one night. i can sort of relate to another guitarist. never buy poppies - but i always put something in the can - more out of respect for the people who give up their time to collect money for a good cause. sport has always been a political sort of thing - Hitlers Berlin Olympics, Black September in Munich, the black power salutes by American sprinters in '68.... nationalism...puts you off a bit, doesn't it ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOVbB_rEar8
