Thread Name: Have anti-war songs changed anything?
Subject: RE: Have anti-war songs changed anything?
I believe that this has probably all been said before but here goes.Anti-war songs have obviously not stopped war but it is my belief that they have sensitized many people to the horror and madness of a race killing it's own fellow-beings.They have helped promote anti-war movements which, in turn, have given pause to blind indifference to war and it's effects on people the world round.Anti-war songs can change outlooks, opinions, and perceptions of war. They may not stop war but, by God, they scream out to be written and sung!May they never disappear from this troubled Earth.
