''Native Son,'' is an anti-war tune written in support of Vietnam veterans. ''They`ve been abandoned and ignored because they reminded the country of something they didn`t want to associate with,'' Taylor says.

La stupenda “Millworker” di James Taylor ha avuto molte cover, da Bette Midler ad Emmylou Harris, dai Pearl Jam a Bruce Springsteen. Questa che propongo è l’altrettanto bella versione francese di Francis Cabrel, dal suo album “Cabrel public” del 1984.

![Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier [Siúil a ruin; Shule Aroon]](img/upl/battleboyne.jpg)
Ballata tradizionale irlandese (ca. 1690)
Irish traditional folk-ballad (ab. 1690)
Versione americana: tradizionale XVIII secolo
American version: traditional, 18th century
Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier, nota anche col titolo gaelico “proprio” di Siúil a ruin e con quello in grafia anglicizzata di Shule Aroon (o, in alcune versioni americane, Shule Agrah) trae le sue origini più antiche dalla Battaglia del Boyne, combattuta il 1° luglio 1690 presso Drogheda, in Irlanda.
“La battaglia del Boyne (1 luglio 1690) fu lo scontro decisivo della guerra guglielmita d'Irlanda. Giacomo II Stuart era sbarcato nel marzo dell'anno precedente nella cattolica Irlanda nel tentativo di farne la base di partenza per la riconquista del regno d'Inghilterra.

Taylor throws a barb at Desert Storm hero, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, in the new song ''Slap Leather,'' an uncharacteristic rockabilly tune. ''Stormin` Norman, I just love a parade,'' Taylor sings with a touch of sarcasm, adding that some Americans felt they were fighting just for a ''Big Mac falafel and a side of fries.''
''I guess some people just wanted to feel better about being an American,'' says Taylor. ''But I remember Bush`s pronouncement that the specter of Vietnam was forever buried in the desert sands of the Persian peninsula. I mean, give me a break. This guy also won Vietnam for us now? It was such a political thing and our reaction to it was so overly simplistic.
''Our reaction really was `Big Mac falafel.` That`s the way we saw it. The whole thing was a cartoon, and a line drawing at that. I don`t know. I don`t want to insult people who have a... (Continues)
