Listening To “Stars And Stripes `Forever” And Liszt “Les Preludes” Superimposed

It’s all very heroic, and the musics complement

one another. Sousa played for the United States
Marine Band. Hitler listened to Les Preludes the
night he invaded Poland. Les Preludes is more
romantic….more about life…Sousa horns in to
make a point….Liszt responds with a swelling of
violins….Sousa trumpets…Liszt uncorks the
drums….Liszt wins the battle, but loses the war.

Are there marches, now, to see the boys off?
Do they just listen to their headphones in their
war games with real bullets? All the pretense
of war gone…just another business…the only
cause is that they’re brainwashed, or, getting
paid. And you thought war was sad before.
