Legendary folk guitarist Richard Thompson records anti-war song from viewpoint of 'grunt'

Ron Brynaert
Legendary folk guitarist Richard Thompson recorded an anti-war song which is told from the viewpoint of a US soldier who fears being killed in Iraq.
The British musician, who formed the band Fairport Convention in 1967, is best known to music fans for the album Shoot Out the Lights, which he began recording in the early eighties with his folksinger wife, Linda Thompson, as they experienced marital problems. The album was released in 1982, after the couple separated, and was later named one of the 500 greatest of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. According to Wikipedia, "In August 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed Thompson as #19 on its list of 'The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.'"
At the online news magazine Slate, Bonnie Goldstein reported on Thompson's new anti-war song...........
