After 61 years on this narrow-minded planet I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm still jarred by someone wishing to erase someone else from music history because of something non-musical that he did. It's not that I don't have a conscience, bubba, it's that Ewan McColl evidently DID. Not that it's the least damn bit material, but I served my time in the armed forces, combat zone and all, but I have no problem with anybody who felt he had a better idea on how to spend his life. Frankly I didn't know McColl was a deserter, but now that you have informed me of this fact, Sir Guest Bob, arbiter of all our actions, I will go out and buy all the Ewan McColl records, tapes, CDs and artifacts I can afford. So there, Mr. I don't like your political beliefs so I'm not going to listen to your music. PS. Do you have anything to show for yourself??
