There's Going To Be A War

I remember back when the Iraq war started and certain kinds of songs were banned from radio.
I have just searched the song War by Was Not Was and its nowhere to be found on youtube.

Mods move this to any forum but the jokes and puns,unlike my other thread.

Care to elaborate? Or should we all get in our bunkers because you couldn't find a song?

For the sake of humanity, let me search for you.

You'd think they'd pull this:



Or this

I can still find this one:

Symptom,

I'm seriously curious on where you picked up on this at... Like, when did you last notice this....? What song, what station, et cetera~

I wouldn't worry until everything on YouTube of the 1960's is taken down. There is still plenty of radical music, movies, social happenings, etc. from that era on there.

Despite the lack of evidence, and briefness of the op, it does raise an interesting speculative topic.

Has anyone else every noticed censorship preceding an event, it is an interesting and valid question to ask.

What do you mean ... GOING to be ... a war?

I don't notice the censorship so much as I notice the patterns. When they want something, the whole of media seems to be saturated with the theme.

That would be an example, flooding the media with propaganda would serve to drown out other things youd rather not be heard.

A form of defacto censorship I suppose.

man you beat me.

for anyone who hasn't read the book or seen the movie that inspired this song. i recommend you do.

The song's theme and lyrics are based on Dalton Trumbo's 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun, telling the tale of a soldier who is hit by an artillery shell and loses his limbs, eyes, ears and mouth. His mind functions perfectly, however, leaving him trapped inside his own body (which could also be described as a special form of locked-in syndrome). Trumbo directed the movie adaptation in 1971, from which the footage for the "One" music video is taken.
One (Metallica song)

here is the full movie. don't let the preview screen fool ya.

If you speak to anyone who lived pre-wwii, they will have plenty of indicators that lead to war. Many (anecdotal - first person) predicted Iraq, etc.

Although nothing is cut and dry, there do seem to be indicators, like money markets, police/military force funding, deployment, etc.

To quantify it all, I have not put in the effort to do so properly.

But I do believe it is possible.

If you play Bob Seger 2+2, followed by Bob Seger No More. You can see that not much has changed in 40 some odd years. Songs were wrote 40+ years apart and all thats difference is the landscape.

Searching the band's discography and I can't find a listing for a song "War" on any of their albums.

Was (not was) had six albums as near as I can tell. I don't see it listed on any of them.

only one song i know of called war and that was by edwin starr

that was posted above

and the best song was not was did.
