Choosing an anti-war song for last week’s links column reminded me of this, probably the most powerful anti-war song I’ve ever heard; I cannot ever listen to it without being reduced to tears by the end. The links above the video were provided by Angela Keaton; Popehat; Franklin Harris and Brooke Magnanti; Popehat again; and Christian Britschgi, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one. Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful. But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer. So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets. Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements. Thanks so much!
Another really powerful antiwar song is “I Was Only Nineteen/A Walk in the Light Green” from Australia.
