Bloody Hell!
I have to admit, I have a bit of TV on, from last night: called The Wipers Times.
Fascinating stuff: and based on the true story of the satirical magazine of the same name.
Fascinating …
And gruesomely tragic.
This is, after all, about a satirical magazine made and produced by frontline troops during World War 1: including from on the trenches at the Battle of The Somme.
And if THAT doesn’t make you think … ?
Well … you’re a better man than I … !

“We may be the only group legitimately fighting the thing which most groups claim to be totally anti, and that’s establishment. I mean, we may have been the only one to have won. Because we actually did. We hadn’t seen a royalty check or anything. We were on top; we were number 1. And we finally went in … and we said ‘you do it our way, or we quit’. And that’s all there is to it.”Mike Nesmith, speaking of his time with the band.
And with this tune …
Have a good day …
