Dear Guest:

Oh, and I thought that was exercise music for the Irish nationalists! (e.g. "The Queen's Own Evaders".)

I was thinking more of music played at events that themselves are confrontational, like potentially violent demonstrations, battles, mob scenes, police actions. etc. Tactical weapons rather than strategic.

PS As I am an American, I grew up using the tune of GSTQ for singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee".   So the tune itself doesn't have the associations it might for you, Mr or Ms Guest.

PPS Are you related to Edgar A. Guest? As in:

I'd rather flunk my Wasserman test
than read a poem by Edgar A Guest

Just kidding,
