Thread Name: Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans day songs (Nov 11)
Subject: RE: Remembrance day songs
Men Behind the Wire would be a most inapropriate song for Armistice day. Unless you are an Northern Irish Rebublican who admires the antics of the Provos in the Sixties/Seventies. As far removed from the concept of the Remembrance Day Service as you can get. To compare a bunch of thugs killing women and children in the name of,not freedom, but to join up with a country that doesn't want them as distinct from young men who met the enemy face to face to ensure we would not be governed by Fascists verges on the obscene.
