Re: Tell us about your Veterans
Dale, I 've none US Veterans in my family .. indeed .. :-)
However the 11th november is a day off here too. It celebrates the end of the first world war ( end of a sorta four-years-long -hell-on-earth)in order. There is no living belgian IWW veteran now and those from IIWW are getting scarce these days. All my thoughts to US Boys who gave their lives to free us from barbarity, slavery and starvery in 14/18 and 40/45.
In order to release the pressure and to bring back things on a more pleasant domain, what about a list of prog/rock songs related to this topic ?
here are some :
Iq : the seventh house ( lot of hope in it)
Iq: common ground
Iron Maiden : Paschendaele ( not prog but the only track featuring one of the biggest WWI butcheries ( aside Verdun And La Somme perhaps)
Peter Hammill : Primo on the parapet ( Primo Levi , Shoa's survivor, brilliant italian novelist and engineer, commited suicide in the nineties, ..)
Big big train , Roger Waters, .... have lot of too
