Thread Name: Songs of War and Peace
Subject: RE: Songs of War and Peace
Thank you Jon, I'll look at that shortly, but..I am very aware of what is going on....
Can't this thread, just for once, please be kept free of the usual myspace problems and insults. Just forget where the links come from and look upon them as being there to allow you to hear the songs. That's the only reason I put them there.
And Diane, your missing the entire point here....I'm hearing things directly from the people whose lives are being blown apart, on both sides. These sorts of sites are putting ordinary people in touch, as never before. The young people that I have heard from want only peace. They are so very sick of it all.....It has to change and I think it will be the young people once again, who'll rise up together. They are beginning to find strong songs, just as previous generations have done and those songs are helping to make them think of a different way.
