Jim Radford's performance was, on many levels, an inspiration.

If the above-reported conversation actually took place (no reason to suspect it didn't, but there are such things as urban myths and sometimes caution is advisable), good on 'im for having the balls to speak his mind to the person who 're-wrote' and, in the process emasculated, a great anti-war song.

The sad thing, AFAIC, is that the lass can belt out Blues and Soul with the best of them, so why was she persuaded to allow herself to be involved in re-writing and performing a song that clearly falls way outside the scope of her talents (which are considerable)?
