I dont know how I missed this thread before !

If my mate Robb Johnson qualifies as a respected artist( Not had much exposure in the US of A ,but BIG in UK) I would nominate his song in praise of that pillock who deserted from the Army (after twelve years of having it cushy) rather than go and get shot at in Iraq - Nothing wrong with the lyric , ot the tune , but the subject matter is the LAST thing to glorify in song !
