Recently someone mentioned Bruce Springsteen.

He has some songs sympathizing with people he doesn't realize his politics hurt, but the are nice songs.

"Taconite, coke and limestone
Fed my children, made my pay
Them smokestacks reachin' like the arms of G-d
Into a beautiful sky of soot and clay"

Such an environmentalist!

Or this song about someone who takes responsibility for what he has done

Yes, the world screws him, with a line I have thought about a lot

"Is a dream a lie if it don't come through, or is it something worse?"

If it don't come TRUE

A hypothesis, as to why those WWII-level estimates of Russian casualties in Ukraine may be credible:

We are seeing the first war in which a heavily mechanized army is running into widespread third generation antitank weapons. And that’s getting a lot of mounted troops killed.

Also, the Russkies did not properly train for or operate mixed infantry and armored units, the way we learned in WWII. I read that a short while ago; will have to look it up tomorrow night or Friday
