(TV) Waterloo, Stalingrad, Calais, etc,

[secretX@webtv.net]

Tom reads books on historic military battles. Some of those battles end
up in his songs. Most of his songs are about at least two overlapping
situations (in dream terminology: the manifest content and the latent
content). Sometimes historic themes illustrate what's going on in his
life. Does he generally view romance as a battle? "Waterloo" is a term
for a defeat of any kind. "Postcard from Waterloo" is about a romantic
defeat as well as a battle. (They eventually got back together.)

Jimmy Rip wrote a song with Jill Sobule. It's on a record, but I've
never heard her.
