Subject: RE: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever?
Darwin mentions "specialization" in a species where the failure to adapt brings about its
demise.

War is that specialization for homo sapiens.

I think Tommy Sands deserves a mention for "There Were Roses" and "The Music of Healing".

When I heard Tommy Makem sing "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya'" I was mesmerized and
when it was done, I said, "That says it all".
