Thread Name: An English protest song.
Subject: RE: An English protest song.
Maybe this is a thread on its own, but the point Grab makes is well taken. The writer can never know what happens when he sets his songs free. I've just read a Louis Theroux book on American sub-cultures in which he talks about two American Nazi bands recording "Green fields of France" along with the extreme racist rubbish they write themselves. I'm sure Eric Bogle would hate this, but there is nothing he can do about it.
