“Kilroy Was Here” by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1980 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1980s |
Another fine set of contemporary songs mostly written and sung by Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl with accompaniments by Calum & Neill MacColl, Ian Trimmer, Jim Bray, and supporting vocals from Susan Davis and Kitty MacColl. The false and windy rhetoric of politicians, pundits and talking heads is exposed and criticized throughout. Kilroy is the everyman who has heard it all before and is accustomed to getting the shitty end of the stick. He's imagined as an individual who wonders if the world wouldn't be a safer place without all those talking heads and this shrill pantomine dame (Thatcher) whose verbal diarrhoea threatens his world with imminent inundation.
