State Radio – Wicker Plane Lyrics 18 years ago
Basically what i got from this was that there was a pilot, crashed in a city, broke his plane. Then, if you look at the lyrics of the YOTC version its pretty obvious that the boy he meets helps him fix his plane with the rope from the tree, and when the pilot leaves the scene for a second, and the boy takes off in the plane and tells the pilot "wherever you came from, thats where i'm going."

However, there's probly a more analyitical meaning. I kinda got the impression that the pilot crashed his plane, and the city was hell maybe? Its probly wrong but i'm pretty stumped...

State Radio – Camilo Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree with plat- everyone is entitled to his/her opinion and THATS what America is really about. As sad as the story is, if any US citizen signs to join the army, thats like signing your life over to them. I completely agree that its rediculous to hold somebody and make them fight even if the reason they joined for (to find/destroy WMDS in Iraq) didnt exist, but if somebody signs up for the army, its not just for one objective or one war, its for as long as you are contracted, regardless of the situation. If we decided today to invade Mongolia (randomest place i could think of) then sadly every one of our soldiers would have responsibility to be over there...

Dispatch – The General Lyrics 18 years ago
Ok I believe many of you have complicated this song and/or turned it into a debate between whether this song deals with realization of the sanctity of life or the horror of war.

First i'll start with my answer to the idea that the general is somehow jesus. While there are numerous parrallels, i believe these to be merely coincidental. We need to remember that some parallels can be found between Jesus and any pacifist, and the ideas of virtue in todays earth (which the general was supposed to capture) can all be somehow or another connected with jesus christ, even if he wasnt the first to display them.

Next its important to remember that rather than dealing with being antiwar or preserving life, this song seems to deal with choosing your battles. Some things are worth fighting for, some are not. Even if it is mentioned that the soldiers were young men and had their lives to live, some fighting is necesary to preserve life.
