Che song - Have you heard it????

[WUOrevolt]

my dad recently gave me this cd by Judy Collins. It was made in 1973. The last song on the album is called Che and is about(you guessed it) Che Guevara. By the way the name of the cd is True stories and other dreams.

wtf, isnt that christian shit
what does it say about him

[Bazza]

I haven't heard the song Che. But I've heard of a band called The Che Men who are about to feature on the Redskins tribute record "A Flame That Can't Be Dimmed" with a cover of "Kick Over The Statues".

I wasnt aware that it was christian shit Primus32302. But anyway the song is basically about the end of Che's life in Bolivia.

isnt Christian shit!?
did u even listen to the song
heres the lyrics:

One morning in Bolivia
The leader of the partisans and two of his companions
Were forced to flee the mountains for their lives
Through green and dusty villages they sped along the little roads
The peasants smiled and shouted as they hurried by
Jesus called out to every one "Don't think that we are leaving,
They only tried to frighten us with guns, we shall return,"
Continue with your work, continue with your talk
You have it in your hand to own your life to own your land
The people smiled and shouted and they ran along a little while
The stood and watched, their hands were restless and empty
The body of Jesus was in the jeep that they blew up
Before it reach the plane

The priest was proud to bless himfor what there was
of him remaining in the afternoon

Continue with your work, continue with your talk
You have it in your hands to own your life to own your land
There is no one who can show you the road you should be on
They only tell you they can show you and then tomorrow they are gone

The smell of oil and incense fill the room in this adobe hut
Where on the table lies the body of a man
His face is pale and young, his beard is dark and curled
Pennies hold his eyelids from the evening light
People from the village those who knew him, those who killed him
Stand inside the door, their hands are restless and empty
They watch the priest make silent crosses in the air
And pray to God inside their hearts for their own souls

Continue with your work, continue with your talk
You have it in your hands to own your life to own your land
There is no one who can show you the road you should be on
They only tell you they can show you and then tomorrow they are gone

ok Primus32302 it may be christian shit but what does that have to do with the song. It is supporting Che

[Felicia]

The only song that I can think of that mentions che is "cows with guns" by the arrogant worms (pete told me to get it :-P......I'm musically challenged, no joke)

There are many songs about che. I havent heard 'cows with guns' though, but now i will!

[krevh]

its true that there are many songs about ernesto "che" guevara
primus:what the hell is wrong with "Cristian shit"

[Jesus Christ]

lol
christian music is very ignorant of the world outside of itself
and i dont think a christian song about Che would please him very much
