home, too political? Options

[arlecia]

what do you think about this song?
for me is some kind of scream for the end of the "war" in Iraq. but should they so loudly show us their in some way political ideas?
maybe for me it inst so obvious because I live in a country which has send there not so many people...and here we hardly ever even hear about this problem.

I completely agree with you (in fact, I have been saying this all along). WAWFF and Home really have no place on Live's albums. It bothers me that "rock" bands put ONE political outcry song on a cd full of songs with completely different messages. If you want to sing about politics, write the whole cd about it. If you really care about the war, get out there and say something (or actually fight dammit). As far as I'm concerned, Ed doesn't know anything about war and he should shut the fuck up. If you want to know about war, ask me. I'll tell you about war. Or better yet, ask someone who has fought in one. This is probably one of my least favorite songs on the cd. Honestly I'm glad someone from outside the United States realizes this because I've noticed that many non-Americans say this is their favorite song (and, for those of you that like this song - no, I am not saying your OPINION is wrong).

Ok sorry about that

reality check: Live/Ed can put whatever they want/feel/like on their albums. It is a work of art by artists. it makes more sense not to buy something that you disagree with than to censore the artist.

Never said they couldn't...just said I didn't like it.
