Wow, John. That's gut-wrenching stuff. Have you ever performed it for an audience? I can't imagine it being played on a typical folk show on the radio, or even being sung in a coffeehouse, at least not the kind of coffeehouses I've been to.

I'm glad I heard it alone, in the privacy of my home, just me and my computer, so I have time to contemplate it.

This song is too good to ignore.

I plan to email links to this song to some friends of mine who are antiwar activists (and a couple of them are folk musicians and/or fans as well). At least I know they will appreciate the message. I'll let you know what their reaction is.
