SEP 30, singable satire: The Eagles sing "BROKEN ARROW"

 SAD ANTI-WAR SATIRE:

MUSICAL UNDERPINNINGS:  "Desperado", The Eagles, 1973. "Desperado" is also the name of the second studio album recorded by the band. 

SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, March 2018.

PARODY-WORDLINK: The original story was encountered as a 60th anniversary reprise by the Charleston SC daily newspaper Post and Courier. Another take on this interesting episode has been twisted into limerick verse by  Giorgio in a 3-stanza poem HERE

PARODY-SONGLINK: The same tune was used as the vehicle for a parody song posted in 2014 entitled "Macadamias".

BROKEN ARROW

(to the tune of "Desperado")

"Broken Arrow" - Why don't we drop the pretenses
The Department of Defense has hidden truth 'til now. ...
