Music & War

[Jamo]

...and knowing that, they still sign up in a volunteer military.

The younger generation has a sense of duty. They saw something we never did...our own country attacked.

I don't know what you're looking at in terms of anti or pro war music that you/we would normally enjoy at our average age around here. Having had three daughters (18, 21 and 26), I've listened to alot of their music (varying tastes between them) and there are some songs of protest, but it is spread out among many large issues. Certainly the war, but also global warming, anti-bias everything, the war in the hoods, poverty, Aids, etc. Country Western is bigger today than in our younger years and has more crossovers into popular radio music, at least to younger people...and there have been a good number of patriotic songs, notwithstanding the Chicks and a few others. Much of it is centered where it ought to be...in support of those who serve...rather than the politics of the thing. Listen to Trace Adkins' Arlington sometime.

Interesting topic, btw.
