Old days but coming back in vogue.

There was a less known folk style song by the Communist Party member Pete Seeger:

Waist Deep in the Big Muddy.

It was meant to be about the Big Fool Lyndon B. Johnson in Vietnam but today would be about Putin, Zelenskyy and Xi, and supporters.

(First stanzas were about platoon leader who said to keep going but died in wet mud.)

Well, I’m not going to point any moral,
I’ll leave that for yourself
Maybe you’re still walking, you’re still talking
You’d like to keep your health.

But every time I read the papers
That old feeling comes on;
We’re, waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.

Waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool says to push on.

Waist deep! Neck deep! Soon even a
Tall man’ll be over his head, we’re
Waist deep in the Big Muddy!
And the big fool says to push on!
