I could not at any age be content to take my place in a corner by the fireside and simply look on. I hate war. Nothing happens unless first a dream. He who walks in the middle of the road gets hit from both sides. The truly wise person is colorblind.
Songs are funny things.
They can slip across borders. Proliferate in prisons. Penetrate hard shells. I always believed that the right song at the right moment could change history. The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven't got it.
