Country artist Darryl Worley's new war song "Have You Forgotten" debuts on this week's country chart at No. 43. Darryl takes a swipe at the media for telling us we can't handle the images of 9/11 so they quit showing it. He also takes to task all those who forgot about the "WHY' behind our war.

Even if you are not a Country music fan, this song will strike a cord with you. I for one found a home in Country music because they are closer to ideals I believe in then any other genre of music. Besides, I do believe that a majority of Country musicians are behind Bush and this war. Lets light up the radio stations and request this song be played so everyone will remember. If we cannot get television to remind people maybe we can get radio stations to.

If you go to his WEB site you can download the song and hear what I mean. It took me about 10 min. with a connection speed of 43000 bps. the song is about 4 min. long. He actually lets you download the song for free, I have it saved to disc.

Since Darryl is offering his song for free, I am currently sharing it on the Kazaa network. Just search for "Darryl Worley Have You Forgotten". I also have a live version that he recently sang at the Grand Ole Opry.

BTW, I'm getting the album and you should too!

I hestitate to call anybody or anything "Pro-War". You can call them Pro-Bush, Pro-U.S. Policy, Pro-American. But I don't think anybody is Pro-War.

Good point.

Good point, I will make it a point to remember it is a Pro-Bush stance. By the way I do plan on buying his album when it comes out in May.

I discovered DW's song "Family Tree" by accident flipping stations on the radio. I was an instant fan of his. Heck, I'm probably a not-so distant cousin of his.

I usually don't like country music but I heard this song on the radio the other day (Liddy show?) and liked it right away. I think I'll download it and save it. Thanks for the post.

I also recommend Aaron Tippin's "Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagles Fly."

[SamAdams76]

I have a love/hate relationship with modern country music. So much of it is utter disposable crap. But there are some real gems to be mined. I've put together some awesome compiliation discs of good country music but it's so hard to justify buying many country albums, as they are usually two or three songs surrounded by filler. For some reason, country artists sign contracts that mandate an album a year so quality goes right out the window and the Nashville "assembly line" process cranks out the cookie-cutter albums. As a result, I usually just wait for the "Greatest Hits" albums.

LYRICS

HAVE YOU FORGOTTON ?

I hear people saying we don't need this war

I say there's some things worth fighting for

What about our freedom and this piece of ground

We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down

They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in

Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

Chorus

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away

Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell

And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

Verse

They took all the footage off my T.V.

Said it's too disturbing for you and me

It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say

If it was up to me I'd show it everyday

Some say this country's just out looking for a fight

After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Repeat chorus

Bridge

I've been there with the soldiers

Who've gone away to war

And you can bet that they remember

Just what they're fighting for

Chorus 3

Have you forgotten all the people killed?

Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field

Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?

All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on

Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

Tag

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?

Heard this on the way back from the kids riding lessons today.

Pretty moving.

[Chewbacca]

I love the Dixie Chic's new song "Traveling Soldier".

[maxwellp]

I'm not a big fan of country music either, but when it comes to American patriot music you can't beat them. And I'm proud to be an American, born in the USA.

[BibChr]

Ditto.

DON'T generally like country music.

DO like that song. Tears in my eyes.
