My best friend is Japenese and his grandmother was locked up during WWII even though his grandfather was fighting in Italy and Germany. Hearing this song makes me realize that our lives and relationship would have been very different had we been born 60 years earlier. With all the anti-islamic nonsense going around I hope people realize how slippery of a slope we're on and never forget that ugly part of our past. Much love Pandaman.
My friend and "Everywhere" songwriter Greg Trooper died today. He was a wonderful person and gave the world so many beautiful songs. Do yourself a favor and listen to his music.
ah mr. trooper, i loved it every single time you played the other end. working with you was a joy. you always put a shine on it. i'll find a star to wish the wishes to.
No mate ... this tune does the exact same thing to me .. its an emotional song ..it touches people.. great music does that doesnt it !... over here .. over there ..its the same.. everywhere ..
This song was written by Greg Trooper if you are interested in knowing more about its source. look for and read the book by Hampton Sides entitled Ghost Soldiers. Trooper is a brilliant singer/songwriter!
at the end of the day you should love your fellow man more than your country and by fellow man i mean all of us should stop fighting and just get along doesnt really seem that complicated
@LinusHagne from what I get, Lee is his first name. ALso 'Lee was Japanese and born in the USA'. BORN in the USA, so has been giving a more westernised name, because he was born in a westernised country :o)
That's an old comment- I don't even use that account anymore. I consider myself a capitalist(I've been called a socialist by conservatives and a fascist by liberals, but it's all relative, isn't it?). Best of luck to you and your movement. I don't know where you live, but America at least needs a shift in the direction of populism. And I do still love Billy Bragg. I grew up on his music.
@KantorekBaumerB14 Actually, I can say you didn't try, but why be pedantic? After intensive research- i.e. two minutes of Google I have now traced it's origins to what passes as high culturenowadays, i.e. an episode of South Park. I shouldn't have bothered, it was funnier as a mystery, although it would explain much about Western women..
This is one of the best anti-War songs ever written.

The CD stands for "civil defense." It's the old civil defense symbol from the '50's and '60's.

Same although I am called a nationalist isolationist nazi maybe the first but anti socialist sure I m a Thatcherist.
Not that it really matters, but is Lee really a japanese last name?
@AliceyPalacey Makes sense :)
@KantorekBaumerB14 Er, no--do enlighten, as i've never had the use of one- a sandy one, that is.
I don't think I'd like to try, either.
✊🐷🐷🐷🎩👑👊👊👊
LI can never be a japanese name, it's either chinese or korean
