The Most Awesomest Song of the Day: “Guns of August” by Tom Alter!!!

Here’s a link to the complete list: https://philmaq.com/most-awesomest-songs/

I want to emphasize mostly, relatively newer music, just like on my Monday night show, “Prime Time Theme Attic.” (Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET when it returns.)

Here’s the link for when that day comes: http://rdo.fm/r/4qntu )

But I can promise this: I will not force my selections. If something doesn’t hit me, I won’t post one.

Everything I do has always been about shining a spotlight on the artist and their music.

Now I will have the potential to shine 365 more spotlights if I want to!

Please share the post to help spread the word!

Regardless of everything going on in the world that is way more important than my daily post, I will continue, nonetheless, in case someone is looking for a few minutes of respite.

When I had an insatiable appetite for reading books, I recall “Guns of August” as a book written by Barbara Tuchman about the start of World War I.

The War of the Roses is an historical era of civil unrest in British history that lasted thirty years.

Local singer/songwriter Tom Alter references both terms to describe a volatile relationship.

“Guns of August,” is a song from “Wading in the Lesser Middle,”an album released earlier in the year.

It’s catchy and mid tempo, so it doesn’t seem to convey what’s lying underneath the surface–just like what relationships sometimes are.

“Guns” also talks about a truce and a possible peace in September, so there’s still hope.

I like to think the couple works things out!
