Who do you think of on Remembrance Day? In response to this question asked by Tom Allen, host of Radio 2 Morning , there have been many moving thoughts and comments, which you can read here. And of course WWI and WWII are foremost in many minds -- this day is really focused on the men and women involved in those wars. But there are also current conflicts that people think about on this day, and in view of that you may be interested in this song simply called Afghanistan, written by J.P. Cormier after performing for the troops in Kandahar. I believe a fan put together the montage. And apparently there has been a great deal of feedback about this song from service men and women and their families, as well as prior fans of J.P. Cormier. Rightfully so, that's one powerful song. And just a reminder, this afternoon on Radio 2 Drive (3 p.m.-6 p.m.), Rich will play songs about war and peace from Kevin Hearn, Dubmatix, Jakob Dylan, Sinead O'Connor, Corb Lund, Belle & Sebastian, Daniel Lanois and Kathleen Edwa ...

The campy 1978 show with Harrison Ford, wookiees and (gasp) Bea Arthur holds a special place in fans' hearts. On Nov. 17, 1978, the "Star Wars" universe was rocked by a disturbance in the Force more calamitous than the destruction of Alderon, more catastrophic than the Clone Wars, and more devastating than the introduction of Jar Jar Binks. It was "The Star Wars Holiday Special" (or "TSWHS"), a two-hour prime-time special on CBS, in which two worlds collided: "Star Wars" and the traditional television variety show. If you have a bad feeling about this, you aren't alone.
