Music & War
Today I traded my Jeep for a Toyota (2x towing). I could not immediately transfer the XM (talk radio) so listened to the local station which was doing a 60s show. It struck me that today, no anti-war or pro-war song could make the "top 40" as both did in the 60s. And, my thought was that neither "sells." Today's youth are sheltered from the war for the most part. An anti- or pro-war song today has no chance of making the top 40, only a chance on country radio or alternative rock. Those stations have their followers, but fewer of them.
I doubt there is anyone over 50 (even under 50) who never heard "we got to get out of this place" (Rolling Stones) as it was used in the context of Vietnam...can't think of anything comparable in Iraq.
