| Rory Gallagher – Philby Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Well, DB Cooper is surely right. H.A.R Philby's nickname was "Kim" and came from Kipling's novel whose action takes place in India. "Kim" Philby himself was born in India. There is a part of the song that sounds as if Rory played a sitar, and the version in which he actualy used the instrument (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNVeyEuOA6g). I think that this definitely speaks in favor of the Kim Philby interpretation, not the Jack Philby one. |
