“It’s never the end. It won’t happen. We are, as a human species, we are so intelligent. We do such astonishing things. We can fly to the moon… but we still do stupid things”. – Ken Sturdy, Second World War veteran, 1920-2018, when asked about war.

Many years ago you made a great piece using the classic film “The Beast of War” and “The Dogs of War.” You did a great job blending the two.
Good podcast. A bit short for me but it is still very good. Selection is great.
Love how you have put this together, will be playing it again on ANZAC Day later this month when we remember the fallen.
Great podcast, would have loved to have Cruise from David’s second album added to the play list.
Cruise?? whats that got to do with warfare?
As in Cruise Missiles, you know what the song is about:
ruise you are making me sing
Now you have taken me under your wing
Cruise, we both know you’re the best
How can they say you’re like all the rest?
Cruise, we’re born travelling so far
Burning out fast like a shooting star
Cruise I feel sure that your song will be sung
and will ring in the ears of everyone
Saving our children, saving our land
Protecting us from things we can’t understand
Power and glory, justice and right
I’m sure that you’ll help us to see the light
and the love that you radiate will keep us warm
and help us to weather the storm
Cruise, you have taken me in
and just when I’ve got you under my skin
you start ignoring the fears I have felt
’cause you know you can always make my poor heart melt
Please don’t take what I’m saying amiss
or misunderstand at a time such as this
because if such close friends should ever fall out
what would there be left worth fighting about
Power and glory, justice and right
I’m sure that you’ll help them to see the light
Will you save our children, will you save our land
and protect us from all the things we can’t understand?
Power and glory and justice for all
Who will we turn to when your hard rain falls?
I do, oh well. Can’t make everyone happy.
Very timely!
I must say though, I really love Roger’s Lockdown version of Two Suns more than the original.
