Re: (TV) Re: Foxhole

[Paul Dubiansky <thedubes@bellsouth.net>]

I cut the following from the 1978 Trouser Press article on 
http://www.marquee.demon.co.uk/artics.htm

"Foxhole", which sounded quite horrifying in its evocation of a 
battlefield, but which Verlaine said he thought was "really funny".

I would take that to mean it isn't a protest song. Any ideas on what TV 
might mean by "really funny"?
