Sign in to disble this ad
hello all.
i'm currently in the middle of researching a paper, and am calling on the fine people of TB for help! i'm writing my paper on how war affects music, songs, artists, composers, genres, etc.
what i was wondering is what compsers, songs, artists, genres, were effected by war.
i was also wondering if anyone would happen to have a usefully online resource that would hold some information pertaining to this
~thank you

It's the movie "Swing Kids." I think it was actually the music of youth revolution in Germany. Don't wuote me on that though.

The movie "Swing Kids was" It can be used as a way to understand the whole thing though. And I think it was not fiction concerning the youth revolution and swing. Anyway, I gotta learn to type in English.

War Pigs, for example... |

On that note: Mention the Rock against Bush concert(s?).

So the band played a song by Mose Allison :
"Everybody's Cryin' Mercy - but they don't know the Meaning of the Word!"
It was a very moving experience and I could see a lot of the audience were affected by this...

| That was Paul Hardcastle - he went on to work for the BBC and composed a lot of soundtrack music for them - I remember he wrote the theme for the BBC "Holiday" programme! 
I think he's now involved with "Smooth Jazz" ....
