I ran across this older article about Glenn Campbell on his final musical tour and though it touching.

My favorite ever bumper sticker:

“The voices told me to stay home from work and clean the guns”

[ifinnegan]

Thanks.

“Yet in elevating home over foreign crusades, “Galveston” borders on sedition. It really ought to be banned under the Patriot Act. “

Is that supposed to be a joke?

No soldier ever said “clean my gun.” Almost as stupid a song as the galactically stupid “Imagine,” written by pampered billionaire John Lennon in a drug stupor.

Is there a better antiwar pop song than “Galveston”?

Yes.

That Crazy War--Lulu Belle & Scotty (1940)

Plow Under--The Almanac Singers (1941)

Rockabye My Baby (There Ain't Going to Be No War)--The Knights (1939)

Sometimes I have to scratch my head(now) and wonder where did the sedition comment come from.

Is there a better antiwar pop song than “Galveston,”

The Green Green Grass of Home.

We'll Meet Again.

This was a little heavy, but it had a nice beat and was easy to dance to ...

Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death’s construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord yeah!

For the record, “Galveston” was written about the Spanish-American War. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGFx_Y8r9TQ Queue up to about 7:03.
