"War on War"
That is the title of a song on the new Anthony Gomes cd, "Music is the Medicine".
A few lines of the song now.
"Something is going on down here
We the people pumped up with fear
It's so hard to know just what to believe
In the land of the Free and the Home of the Brave
Everybody Everywhere
It's time to stand up and declare A War on war
War on war war on war
Take the colors of humanity
How different can we really be
From the colors of the war machine
Where the blood is red and money's green"...
Anthony Gomes/Mark Selby
I have seen Gomes many times and he walks the walk when it comes to peace on earth and brotherhood. Check him out sometime. Do not be scared by the labeling of his music as "Blues". It is everyman's music. Besides, he is a fine guitar player.

1. Sigh...
I thought is was a pretty good tune. In fact, I still do. Guess no one else does. Oh well. Maybe people just aren't ready for a musician like this.

2. Oh no, don't give up! I'd love to hear this song. I can imagine t-shirts: War on War
That's positively brilliant in it's honest simplicity. That's what we need, a war on war. Is he on iTunes or where else can I check this out?

4. Yep, that is a good one.
My wife has been accusing me of waging a war on war for three years, now - But I try to do it peaceably - ;)
