Radiohead released a song yesterday called Harry Patch (in memory of). Dedicated to the UK's last remaining WWI vet who passed away at 111 years old. All the proceeds of the download (from their website) were to go to the British Legion. Good job fellas. There's been a lot of talk about the way countries treat their vets. The UK has recently been blasted for their treatment of their wounded soldiers from the middle east and I'm sure North America can't necessarily claim some moral highground on that either.
The song itself is melancholic, they sing about the horrors of war and sounds almost fatalistic that we're bound to keep on fighting. I wouldn't say it's their best single to date, but the meaning and charitable work behind it is good enough for me.
