1916
Motörhead

16 years old when I went to the war
To fight for a land fit for heroes
God on my side, and a gun in my hand
Chasing my days down to zero

And I marched and I fought and I bled
And I died and I never did get any older
But I knew at the time that a year in the line
Was a long enough life for a soldier

We all volunteered
And we wrote down our names
And we added two years to our ages
Eager for life and ahead of the game
Ready for history's pages

And we brawled and we fought
And we whored 'til we stood
10,000 shoulder to shoulder
A thirst for the Hun
We were food for the gun
And that's what you are when you're soldiers

I heard my friend cry
And he sank to his knees, coughing blood
As he screamed for his mother
And I fell by his side
And that's how we died
Clinging like kids to each other

And I lay in the mud
And the guts and the blood
And I wept as his body grew colder
And I called for my mother
And she never came
Though it wasn't my fault
And I wasn't to blame

The day not half over
And 10,000 slain, and now
There's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is for a soldier

I wonder what T.S. Eliot would make of pirate radio? He didn't think much of being shelled on the Western Front in 1916.

 well do ya think all the pirate ops should go off air then or what ??

If it would've stopped Kaiser Bill from trying to blow him to bits, ol' T.S. might have been all for it? He didn't live to see the end of the war and the rise of mass communications. He totally missed out on that midget with broom in Mississippi the Reform candidate was using as a prop to oust the Honorable Pappy O'Daniel and that fella with the radio station who would pay you five dollar's to sing into a can.

My wife's mother's family migrated from Scotland via Canada to the US. She was the only one born in the States, 1919. She had five brothers she never had a chance to meet. Knew all of her sisters. Want to take a guess why? No quoting Motorhead.

Out House (two seats): Thank you for posting the prose on Veteran's Day, but it's more for Memorial Day?  This world is fucked up, and that's where my sentiments lie. Look at Ukraine and mad men who we as a species allow leading. And I hear the spikes of Chinese radars at 43 meters..  look how we kneel to the rich who have control of all governments. The vote is a farce, bro. Look at who owns the radio spectrum. And who gets kicked out with 100k fines? I rest my case.

Have a great week.
