Thread Name: Any Okla.City Bombing Ballads?
Subject: RE: Any Okla.City Bombing Ballads?
I remember writing "The Persian Gulf Tragedy" back during the night bombing phase of 1990, when the Peace Movement still had some hope of cooling things down. Great lyrics to the tune of "The Spring Hill Disastor." It was obsolete within a week as the ground forces charged in. I always thought it was too bad that the generals couldn't just shoot it out on their own; they know what they're fighting for. I think Malvina Reynolds had the right idea with her "The Bankers & The Diplomats are Going in the Army."
