1. But no man can find the war
Photographs of guns and flame
Scarlet skull and distant game
Bayonet and jungle grin
Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men
Lookouts tremble on the shore
But no man can find the war

Tape recorders echo scream
Orders fly like bullet stream
Drums and cannons laugh aloud
Whistles come from ashen shroud
Leaders damn the world and roar
But no man can find the war

Is the war across the sea?
Is the war behind the sky?
Have you each and all gone blind:
Is the war inside your mind?

Humans weep at human death
All the talkers lose their breath
Movies paint a chaos tale
Singers see and poets wail
All the world kows the score
But no man can find the war

2. Not familiar with Tim...
But Jeff was amazing. Maybe I should check out some of Tim's stuff.

3. No.
I mean, he's good. But I don't think about during "alone time" or anything (if you know what I mean).

8. I saw him at a small club in Boston about a year before he died
He was doing a call and response thing with a freaking TRUMPET on Down by the Borderline. I've never seen anything like it. What a voice.

Sun beats so hot!

14. I must have seen him on the same tour.
This is after "Greetings from LA" came out. He'd gone beyond the folkie stuff (which I loved) & was surprisingly sexy & powerful.

19. Yes, but
his work could be very melancholy, and give me a huge case of the sads.
