Sunday's Best: Week 7, 2022
Since nutbag Vladimir Putin seems hell bent on causing a war in Europe by invading Ukraine, I thought Sunday's Best this week should focus on conflict songs. You know, the best songs about war.
JUST IN: Lower-level Russian tactical commanders have been given orders consistent with orders to invade Ukraine, U.S. officials tell @ABC News.

And maybe not a "war" song ~ but Nuclear Assault's "Critical Mass" makes it seem like armageddon.

Ripper, that one is getting tired, right? So, perhaps, find another fun phrase with which to telegraph your angst.
GNR, no one.
Oper8n. you are prescient.
And so it seems people are going to die. And for what? So what? So what! Which is just a sad reminder that learning from the past doesn't seem to work.
Again, nothing much political from me. But I hope the people in the Ukraine are able to stay safe and well. And sanctions aren't bombs. But what is a small marble to do when things like this happen? Truly. I don't know.
They did do a remake of Bob Dylan's Master of War, which is a great anti war tune. But not better than Dylan.
In other news, I forgot to say: RIP, P.J. O'Rourke and Mark Lanegan. Both artists. Both amazing. Both gone too soon.
