A short extract forwarded by a reader from the classic Elvis Costello song, with regard to our Robert Byrd discussion. Speaks for itself:
“Oliver’s army is here to stay
Oliver’s army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today
There was a checkpoint charlie
He didn’t crack a smile
But it’s no laughing party
When you’ve been on the murder mile
Only takes one itchy trigger
One more widow, one less white nigger.”
