War Baby
War children are those born to a local parent and a parent belonging to a foreign military force (usually an military occupation, occupying force, but also military personnel stationed at military bases on foreign soil). Having a child by a member of a belligerent force, throughout history and across cultures, is often considered a grave betrayal of social values. Commonly, the native parent (usually a woman) is disowned by her family, friends, and society at large. The term "war child" is most commonly used for children born during World War II and its aftermath, particularly in relation to children born to fathers by German occupying forces in northern Europe. In Norway, there were also ''Lebensborn'' children. The discrimination suffered by the local parent and child in the postwar period did not take into account widespread War rape, rapes by occupying forces, or the relationships women had to form in order to survive the war years. Discrimination Children with a parent who w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
War Babies (Hall & Oates Album)
''War Babies'' is the third studio album by American pop duo Daryl Hall & John Oates. Released in November 1974, it was the duo's final album for Atlantic Records, and was produced by rock musician Todd Rundgren, who also plays guitar on the album, alongside members of his band Utopia. Wishing for a stylistic change from the Philly soul and blue-eyed soul that had characterised their prior work, Hall and Oates conceived ''War Babies'' as a radical, experimental departure, mixing progressive rock, hard rock and R&B into an urban-oriented style with heavy synthesizer work. A loose concept album, the album was inspired by the perils of touring and the struggles of baby boomers, with Rundgren and the duo aiming to achieve a bleakness reflective of growing up in the nuclear age. Further inspirations on the album included glam rock and David Bowie, who the duo opened for in 1973. On release, the album reached number 86 on the ''Billboard'' Top LPs and Tape chart, becoming their fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

So, he says, "I'm going to start playing some stuff and you just tell me if you hear anything". What came out of it was just "Kill the Pain" backw ...

War Babies (The Goodies)
"War Babies" is an episode of the British comedy television series ''The Goodies''. It was the last episode to be produced and transmitted by BBC Television. This episode is also known as "World War 2". Written by The Goodies, with songs and music by Bill Oddie. Plot It is the Second World War, and Tim, Bill and Graeme are only two years old. However, they are much bigger in size than the usual two-year-old children — even bigger than the four-year-old, six-year-old, and eight-year-old children who are attending the same school for gifted children as they are. Graeme and Bill are dressed in school uniforms and are both very intelligent two-year-old children. Tim, however, arrives at the school in a pram wearing a bib and bonnet, so it would appear that his inclusion in a school for gifted children is a mistake — or too soon. There is some implication that Tim's rich parents have paid vast sums of money so that he can attend the school, despite his average intelli ...

War Baby (song)
"War Baby" is a song by Tom Robinson, released as a single in 1983. It reached No. 6 on the UK singles chart, and was included on Robinson's 1984 album '' Hope and Glory''. Background After the break-up of his band Sector 27, Robinson was "massively in debt, particularly with the British tax authorities", was "technically bankrupt", and depressed, so in 1982 he went to stay with a friend in Hamburg, Germany. He learnt German and started playing in Germany, including in East Berlin (seven years before the fall of the Berlin Wall), with East German band NO 55. Robinson describes writing the song, whilst stoned, after a bad experience at a gay sauna, he "...wrote straight down 'only the very young and the very beautiful can be so aloof.' And the rest of it poured out onto the page, eight, ten pages of the stuff, just hand-written, stream of consciousness stuff. And it took about a year to get those ten pages down to something that you could actually sing in four minutes." The son ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Primitive Cool
''Primitive Cool'' is the second solo album by English singer Mick Jagger, released in 1987. As the follow-up to Jagger's 1985 album '' She's the Boss'', ''Primitive Cool'' was another attempt by Jagger to become a solo star. Background Following the release of the Rolling Stones album '' Dirty Work'' in 1986, relations between Jagger and Keith Richards soured after Jagger decided to not tour to promote the album in favour of starting his second solo project. Richards was vocal about his discontent in the media—which Jagger replied to, also publicly; "Kow Tow" and "Shoot Off Your Mouth" were reportedly written in response to disparaging remarks made about Jagger by Keith Richards. Undeterred, Jagger promptly began work on ''Primitive Cool'', recording in the Netherlands and Barbados. Joining up with David A. Stewart and Keith Diamond in the producer's chair, Jagger used Jeff Beck as the regular guitarist for the sessions, seeking to have more uniformity in the recordings. ...

Background and content After being released from their contract with Virgin Records, Simple Minds decided to musically reinvent themselves yet again. Having worked since 1991 as a duo with session musicians, Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill reunited on a rehearsals-only basis with the band's original rhythm section, Derek Forbes and Brian McGee (returning after eleven & fourteen year absences respectively).
