Well, It Worked With Noriega, Didn't It?

I've been listening to some really early Dylan.

Blowing in the Wind has been sung into rags by all those pretty-pretty Peter Paul and Mary types, but Masters of War is as ugly and ornery as it ever was. Wouldn't it be cool if we could surround the White House with speakers and blast out Masters of War on a loop until the present occupant went away?

I guess there's some piffling little law or other that would stop us from doing that. Phooey!

"Masters of War" and Phil Och's "Cops of the World" have been on repeat in my head for about five years straight at this point . . .

Seems like we haven't learned a thing over the past forty years.

Yeah. How's that for depressing?

It's always the old to lead us to the wars
It's always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun
Tell me, was it worth it all?
