REO Speedwagon - Roll with the Changes:

I'm guessing I was somewhere in the crowd.


That must have been a cool concert...I'm trying to remember concerts I've been too - I have seen Neil Diamond, Gordan Lightfoot, Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger...but not any rock concerts, I always liked smaller venues :)

I've been to too many to count the seventies were good concert days.


I would like to have seen Eric Clapton...or....Blind Faith (but I was too young I think)...and the Byrds!

Ever heard of Daniel Lanois? French Canadian - love his stuff (first heard it on a Northern Exposure episode)



Oh, oh, deep water
Black and cold like the night
I stand with arms wide open
I've run a twisted line
I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker

I could not see
For the fog in my eyes
I could not feel
For the fear in my life

And from across the great divide
In the distance I saw a light
Of John Baptist
Walking to me with the Maker

My body, my body is bent
And broken by long and dangerous sleep
I can't work the fields of Abraham
And turn my head away
I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker

Brother John, have you seen
The homeless daughters
Standing here with broken wings

I have seen the flaming swords
There over East of Eden
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Burning in the eyes of the Maker
Oh, river rise from your sleep
 
High Kings - Green Fields of France

again, the pointless slaughter of WW2 :(



Oh how do you do, young Willy McBride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun?
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.
And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in 1916.
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean.
Or Willy McBride, was is it slow and obscene?

You mean WW1.

Yes WW1 - utterly pointless.

Europeans mocked the American military during the Civil War because of the carnage. But it was at that time of history when the range of rifles jumped from a hundred feet to a thousand feet with rifling. Tactics just had not caught up yet. 50 years later Europe makes the Civil War look like a picnic.

Wasn't WW1 the first for many things - a change from traditional warfare to trench warfare, gas warfare? The last veterans have died - but it still is a haunting war.

WW1 was when war became fully mechanized. All throughout history you had standoff weapons, but it always got down into hand to hand combat. Eventually the combatants ran out of energy and someone was victorious and the killing stopped. With mechanized warfare you just kill and kill with no end.
