| John Prine – The Great Compromise Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| its about The Vietnam war and how screwed up it was. If you have Netflix watch "the last days of Vietnam." There was a cease fire drawn up by Nixon who North Vietnam (the bad guys) thought was crazy and agreed to the cease fire. Then Nixon resigned. 6 months later North Vietnam started up again and took all of South Vietnam and Saigon last while the U.S. Embassy there were scrambling to get out of there by choppers and taking as many S. Vietnamese as possible with them. Masterpiece of song writing. Sam Stone was his other more obvious Vietnam tune. I never get involved in this stuff but I know a little about this thing. Peace. | |
