Elvish Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Don't think Sympathy For The Devil was based on a particular incident. It wasn't based on one - it was based on several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiggsUK Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 'Enola Gay' - OMD Is 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' historically correct, as I don't recall the song mentioning the fact that the squaddies were being fired upon before they shot into the crowd? It doesn't excuse the killing of innocent people, but perhaps if the song mentioned this it would have been more accurate. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
