Red Cross Dogs During WW1:

The Swing Of Things: I want to escape from this world but I don’t want to die to do it. When I am awake I learn much that I would rather not know and what always gets my attention is that it’s all over again, the replay, the droning of wars that run into each other, chasing their expensive tails like moth-eaten dinosaurs from central casting, following some computer’s orders: Come on, you guys! Get with the program! Watch for your cue, or you will end up in some stinking prison on a godforsaken golf course somewhere and no one looking. Get up! Sit down! Eat a peach! Don’t talk! Listen to the music of the spheres of influence jazzing it up in Hollywood, New Orleans, Vegas and Kansas City, land of the free, home of the brave but melancholy babies whose only hope is to become the Bards of Podunk and retire to a fucked-up Shangri-La on the edge of the Dalai Llama’s... Swi-i-i-sssssh! Ha, ha! Double-ollied that time! What a ride – and nobody watching? Shit! Scotland’s burning, and not a white fireman in sight!
