A new anthem
(Click the link to download this song)
Richard Thompson, whom Rolling Stone Magazine called one of the most important guitarists and songwriters of the 20th century, has a new album coming out this May. The headline track is called "Dad's Gonna Kill Me", a new anti-war anthem for this generation.
(And if you're too dumb to realize it, 'Dad is the new 'Nam - I.E. Baghdad, Vietnam ... If you don't get it, I'm not explaining it to you.)
I wholeheartedly recommend downloading the track linked to above. It is masterfully produced and entirely thought provoking.
Some lyrics ...
I've got a wife and kid, another on the way
I might make it home, if I can live another day
Before I came out here, I never used-ta pray
Nobody loves me here; nobody loves me here
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's gonna kill me
Dad's in a bad mood; Dad's got the blues
Its someone else's mess, that I didn't choose
At least we're winning here on the Fox evening news
Nobody loves me here; nobody loves me here
Check it out, even if you are a selfish, warmongering bastard. ;O)
