"While music may have changed immensely in style over the centuries, the themes that musicians write songs about have largely stayed the same – and battle, soldiers, and war are themes that have appeared in a number of iconic songs in the 20th and 21st centuries…"

There are no words in any language I speak that can describe exactly how much I hate "The Battle of New Orleans"; while working as a volunteer at the annual reenactment at the National Battlefield I wasted a great amount of time explaining to visitors that that song doesn't contain a single grain of truth about the real battle. The only think that annoyed me more was having to enlighten history teachers as to why the battle was not fought when the war was over. LT |
