I went to the Rod Stewart/Stevie Nicks concert last night at the Hollywood Bowl. I was surprised to hear him dedicate "Rhythm of my Heart" to the troops fighting around the world.
He mentioned the third conflict ongoing in Libya. He said that once again soldiers for the U.S., Great Britain, Canada and others, but "mostly our two countries" were once again inn harm's way. He said he takes his hat off to any service members in the audience, and we rally owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who served form WWI to today for defending our freedom.
The giant video screen behind the stage showed clips from Dunkirk to Afghanistan. At the end of the song the screen was filled first with the Union Jack and then the Stars and Stripes.
Wasn't that pretty much the official song of the troops during "Desert Storm"?

She's a lib; but, she's a lib I can tolerate. Besides, last time I checked, she's still kinda cute.
