What is the connection between this absolutely stunning piece of political propaganda*:
And this pop classic:
??? *No, not an endorsement of the point being made, nor a rejection of it. But you\’ve got to admit it\’s a bloody good way to make the point.
Tim,
The surge has worked – check out the death levels from Sept. ‘o7 onwards. In fact, the US and Iraqi governments are planning to keep about 50,000 US in Iraq, in permanent bases.
^^^Maybe so-just not sure what point is being made by the flag over Arlington: honor or leave?
As for Jackson’s cover of “Stay”-nice play on the question. But I prefer the ’61 original version.
Tim adds: Just to make clear: it’s not a political connection between them, it’s a musical one. This is, very simply, a test of people’s musical geekiness. That’s all, no political point intended to be made (not by me, anyway. Clearly the America the Beautiful is trying to make one).
Is the connection somehow related to Solomon Burke?
Tim adds: If there is, it’s not one that I’m aware of.
