I was poking around for more info on Harry Patch and found this new song by Radiohead.  Beautiful.

Patch died recently at 111, leaving a 108 year old man as the last British survivor of World War I.  Unbelievable to live through so much.

TP. I don't really care about Patch, but I do care about Radiohead.

unsung heroes like patch are few and far between from the great war, the hell they saw in there lifetimes is something I hope none on here have to ever see, two world wars, millions killed by influenza, the atomic bomb, AIDS, genocide in almost every decade.... yet radiohead makes it all better for the boobs out there.

Were those of us that like Radiohead just called boobs because we like this tribute song?  Did I miss something?

I hated the song until it was over. Then I loved it.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.
