1 I think 'tender comrade' might be worth considering and I back Tim on
"Everywhere". I seem to remember Sting had a couple of anti war songs.
Someone stole my CD at a party I had some years back but it's an earlier
one.... about the Russians loving their children too, someone will know.
Bruce Cockburn also had a couple of anti war beauties. There's an Aussie
song about WW1 which used to get played here by the peace movement about 20
years ago called "the Band played Waltzing Matilda". I seem to remember it
at every bloody peace rally I went to in my teens. hardly the thing for
young radicals today.

Personally though I love Jackson Browne's CD - lives in the Balance. The
album is pretty much anti US intervention in central America and a couple of
songs border on being anti capitalist. Still too fuddy duddy for your
classes but maybe a bit more with it then some of my other suggestions.

If you don't need a song I'd play them the last episode of Blackadder 4.

2 very well thanks.

Cheers
Sam
