1. Love this oldie. It's the song at the end of "The Commitments."
2. From "Raw Power," a must-have album.
3. One of the most powerful antiwar songs ever.
4. A Johnny Cash song about a train? Wow, that hardly ever happens...
5. A big hunk of '70's cheese. Probably the worst antiwar song ever.
6. Heard a Violent Femmes song in a commercial recently. Never in a million years...
7. From Springsteen's second album.
8. An outtake that was included on Dylan's great box set, "Biograph."

I never really feel like it's summer until I hear Y&T's "Summertime Girls."
You know, I may still have Live Aid on tape, or was that Farm Aid?
Cool beans.
I loved "Billy Don't Be a Hero" when I was a kid. I think Paper Lace may also have covered it.
I love anything from Raw Power. What an awesome album.
There's a great anti-war song by Steeleye Span. But I can't recall the name of it at this time.
