to bring this back to ....music I wonder what songs will come of this Billy Bragg was recently interviewed in Australia, they played him Help Save The Kids In America and asked him what he thought about it now(not in a nasty way, mind you) his reply was that he was mainly thinking nuclear when he wrote it, but either way, USA could not isolate itself from the fate of the rest of the world. He also pointed out (if I understood properly) that he didn't know what aspect of the current fiasco would end up in song, that he would need to sit back a while, see what people did, and try to find some point at which he could contribute something more significant than just slogans. by the way, Billy's current Woodie Guthrie phase sort of reminds me of Bob Dylans Jesus phase, although I don't suppose he'd like to hear that!(I actually greatly admire both their explorations in aforesaid genres)
