Killer Song
Posted on | February 4, 2007
Richard Thompson offers “Dad’s Gonna Kill Me” at his web site. It’s an anti-war song written from the troops’ viewpoint. Raw Story has more:
“Lately at concerts he’s been singing a song in protest against the Iraq war titled ‘Dad’s Gonna Kill Me,’” Goldstein writes. “‘Dad,’ Thompson explains to audiences, is grunt-speak for ‘Baghdad,’ much as ”Nam’ once meant ‘Vietnam’”….
In the song, Thompson sings, “‘Dad’s in a bad mood, ‘Dad’s got the blues; It’s someone else’s mess that I didn’t choose; At least we’re winning on the Fox evening news; ‘Dad’s Gonna Kill Me.”
An mp3 of “Dad’s Gonna Kill Me” can be heard at Thompson’s website, and it will be on his next CD, “Sweet Warrior,” slated for release in May.
