Whooee! Going to jail for one's beliefs is making a Hell of a statement! It certainly is the ultimate form of patriotism, and gives me a chill even to think about it. Sadly, that brave, I could never be, although I guess you never know what you'll do until you're in that situation. Growing up in Montreal and Toronto I don't remember EVER having to make a decision of even close to that magnitude. I think however, many of the songs from that period gave strength to a lot of young people, and perhaps helped them to make the hardest decisions of their lives. Even those who supported the war would have gotten musical support from the country songs of the day. So I guess music will always have the power to influence us one way or another.

I know all about pepper Jelly (we're not totally deprived up here) but dare I even ask about Kentuckey Burgoo? There's no groundhog in it is there?
