America really fucked up by trying to extend NATO influence. Blowback is what we see here.

I first heard Neil sing War of Man back in 2003 on the Greendale tour in London. He was flicking through a big file of songs and it seemed like he didn't know which ones he was going to play; I didn't remember it from the album - I don't listen to Harvest Moon much.
But it was good.
And who else could have made an album like Living with War? There is, in my opinion, no one else with the integrity and musical ability to have made such a record. Maybe music can't change the world but this man's music opens ears and hearts.

I think it's sort of tasteless to just put that picture up there with just a few lyrics.

Ben...you're wrong. Maybe if some of the leaders of the world could see what their greed has caused, this B.S. would stop. I think the lyrics, and the listing of them below the picture is more than appropriate. Hell, not just the leaders of the world should be witness to these types of atrocities.Everyone should see this...the complete failure of war..the meaningles loss of life. Nothing is gained.

Luke-
I actually agree with most of what you said. I've seen plenty of photographs of the shocking brutality of war, and I also feel it's very important not to suppress the truth about it. And it's not so much that I think it was flat-out wrong to post something like that, I just feel sort of conflicted. Something about the way it's presented just makes me feel funny. I guess if you're going to post something as heavy as that picture, I think it should be accompanied by a very concise, lucid observation, much like the one you posted. The lyrics fit but I don't think they're quite enough for the gravity of that photograph.

Peace
-Ben

Ben & Luke:

Thanks for your comments on this.

Believe me, I don't take this lightly putting up a war image like that. I guess I was trying to say that the words and lyrics were a sufficient statement.

And the link to the LWW posts gives greater detail to my thoughts on the subjects of war & music.

Other than to say that another war deeply saddens me, words and pictures do not really
do justice to the inhumanity of humanity.

peace,
thrasher
