LEST WE FORGET. I dont think anyone can sing - TopicsExpress



          

LEST WE FORGET. I dont think anyone can sing this song quite like its author........And it will always have resonance as long as humans find reasons to kill each other. In writing an anti-war song, [Bogle] tried to avoid denigrating the servicemen whod suffered, and wanted to indict those responsible for the ridiculous loss of life and limb in war, especially in unnecessary wars (like Vietnam) and unnecessary actions (like Gallipoli). He said that the song didnt come easily, .... He reckoned it has resonance again in 2004-07, because of the Iraq war. And its international appeal is because the experience of war is common to all countries (as well as being simply far too common). from: rogerclarke/WM/Bogle.html
