I listened to this again, quite a classic with thought provoking images plus I realised this war is about as old as I am. Does anyone else know of any other war related songs?
I'm a fan of Warren Zevon and Roland is one of those songs that at first you think is pretty weird but as Zane says when you think about it in context it makes sense.
But IMO they don't get much better than this from Richard Thompson
What a great selection, some i'd heard before and some I haven't, never thought I would hear the red baron song without the words "Christmas Bells oh Christmas Bells"..Zane
