music in the war

bernardsbarnes Poetry, , , , , , ,

the Vietnam War has ruined so much good music for me
CCR, The Doors – I cannot hear the songs
without thinking
of bombs dropping
skanky Asian prostitutes and yokels abroad
smoking cigarettes and talking about Charlie
thankfully Zeppelin and Zappa
they seemed to stay untainted
un-coloured by the jaded brush-strokes
held by history’s hand
