| R.E.M. – Laughing Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Laocoon warned of the evil that would befall the Romans. I remember reading that this song was inspired by a Robert Capa photograph. That image is from 1944 and shows a street scene in a French town after liberation. The focus is a woman walking, her head shaved, a baby in her arms, while around her people walk looking at her and laughing. She had the baby was fathered by a German soldier, and has had her head shaved as punishment, to mark her. |
