Some of us here knew Eddie Balchowski who fought in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think Eddie used to sing "Peat Bog Soldiers." Back in the early seventies there was a big benefit concert for Eddie hosted by Studs Terkel at the Quiet Knight where Eddie worked. Most of the then living members of the Lincoln Brigade came to be with Eddie and it runs in my mind that they all sang the song together, along with some Spanish Civil War songs. Perhaps others who were there that evening will remember it better than I now do.

Perhaps I misunderstood what gargoyle was trying to say earlier. Did anyone else think he was obliquely denying or trivializing the holocaust?
