Da/From The Mudcat Café

Risalente alla II guerra mondiale, una canzone terribilmente ironica in puro stile yankee (nel senso migliore del termine). Testo ripreso dal canzoniere "Shay, Pious Friends and Drunken Companions", e riprodotto dal Mudcat Café.

Dall'album "Emigrante" (2002)

2004
L'Oste del diau

Si tratta della versione occitana de Le conscrit du Languedô (Fanfan) (la cui versione originaria era in francese). Manteniamo in questo caso la divisione in due canzoni distinte. Per la traduzione italiana si veda anche il canto originale francese.(RV)

1971

"This next song is for Lois and Ernie, I started out delivering mail to Maywood, then Broadview, and ended up with Westchester - routes nobody wanted. We hated to see Readers Digest come, people who would get them, would get them for the rest of their lives. I didn't read any of it except for 'Humor in Uniform'. At the height of the Viet Nam war, there was a silent majority, they were really quiet - Reader's Digest was part of it, they just stuck these plastic flag decals in their magazine, no reason, they just snuck them in there. The next day, there were flag decals everywhere. Anyway, Lois and Ernie owned the 'Dirty Book Store' and this good old protest song is for them." ~ John Prine, Proviso East High School, Maywood Il, 2/26/00
