Hey man, great analysis of the song, and i’m sorry to hear about your father. Steve was great talent, It’s sad that he left us so early.

Comment on A Memorial Day Song: John Brown by Gary

Memorial Day is about remembering soldiers who lost their lives. John Brown came back alive. Memorial Day is about helping and consoling the families of the soldiers that did not make it back alive. This song is a criticism of a soldier’s mother who glamorizes war for her own pride and selfish reasons. John Brown has a point and a purpose that it important to share and be heard, but it’s not the kind of song we should be singing to a victim’s family on a day like today.

“Oh, and I thought when I was there, God, what am I doing here?
I’m a-tryin’ to kill somebody or die tryin’
But the thing that scared me most was when my enemy came close
And I saw that his face looked just like mine”
Oh! Lord! Just like mine!

Hopefully Bob realizes this song is about the Zionist brutalizing of the Palestinian people and consequently will not play there as he has been asked not to by Palestinian civil society.

Seven Curses is there….”and the tale of corruption made all the more outrageous by the tenderness of the singing in “Seven Curses.” A girl’s father is arrested for stealing a horse and she rides straight away to plea for mercy from the judge. He dismisses the idea that money can save her father, instead demanding that she sleep with him. The father pleads with her daughter to spurn the judge, but the daughter’s love for her father exceeds her revulsion for the judge. She submits that night only to find the judge never kept his part of the bargain. “She saw that hangin’ branch a-bendin’/She saw her father’s body broken.” She then issues the seven curses on the judge that give the song its title.”

Don’t forget “Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s beautiful face
And to see an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”
