Thread Name: Any Okla.City Bombing Ballads?
Subject: RE: Any Okla.City Bombing Ballads?
There was that period of naive innocence in my childhood where I liked to sing IRA songs because I thought they were romantic, and the "Bomb Song" (All in the anarchist's attic, so lonely and so mean, all amidst the fumes of nitrogycerine) because I thought it was funny; well, maybe that song still is funny. It really takes someone such as Fred Small or Woody Guthrie to figure out how to deal with an Oklahoma. I'm curious about what Rod MacDonald tried to do. Can anyone post the lyrics?
