Yeah he was my history teacher too, for two years at Sterling Montessori in Morrisville. I'm 16 now. Yeah that guy was awesome. He called me "Cap'n Question!"
Sighs and looks down below. Seriously does it matter? Warrior prince one of the band members is a a history teacher(my former history teacher) so they know the reference. Sighs....
I wont lie, I'm a huge Bright Eyes fan and only checked out this band because theyre linked to Bright eyes but I gotta say, this is pretty damn good! If only I could find the albums anywhere :/
Sorry About Dresden encourages folks to learn about the bombings of Dresden in World War II. Do a google search for "Dresden Bombing wiki" for the wikipedia article.
While our band name is facetious in nature and based neither on the writings of Kurt Vonnegut nor World War II, we welcome vigorous debate on this subject.
We do think that if you are against the senseless killing of innocent people it should be all innocent people, not just some of them.
You are welcome to your opinion of the band. Your views on history, though, are more than a little skewed. Had it not been for Neville Chamberlain's milquetoast approach to Hitler's military moves, Germany wouldn't have made the progress they did. And you have to know that bombing Dresden offered the allies no signifigant strategic advantage. But whatever. Maybe when you hit adolescence you'll be more open to the truth.
Your own american politicians appeased hitler also, as did the french and italians. It should not be left up to Britain to solve the worlds ills, Germany is a big boy and the german people could have decided to not fight for hitler, no excuses. If you americans had joined in at the beginning of the war then 6 million jews would not have joined. Only really the British came out of WWII with any self respect.
You are indeed ignorant. You seem to be proud of it, it is most likely the only thing you have to be proud of if this is your band. Yes they suck, as does neo nazism.
All I can say is read a book, the yanks dropped nearly twice as many bombs on dresden as the British. I am guessing you didn't think about that when you launched your anti British campaign. Dealt with son shine.
Yes you're right. And Dresden had no military installations or concentration camps. Some historians would argue that the allied bombing of Dresden, particularly the US bombing of Dresden was meant to impede the Soviets progress through Germany.
It was the fact that Dresden was not a strategic target for the allies that makes anyone sorry. It's not about sympathizing with nazis. It's about the senseless destruction of a range of culture that predates the nazis by hundreds of years.
Well the nazi should not have started the war then should they. They have to take responsibility for themselves. There was a train depot in dresden. Anyway we don't have to defend our actions, it was self defence. However keep up the anti Englishness it gives you a meaning in life I guess.
Germany's attempt to invade all of Europe did not justify the bombing of non-military targets, and the fact that you think it did makes you the insensitive fascist, not us.
We're about as anti-English as the Premiership. Fact is, in 11 years you're the only one who has ever had a problem with the band name.
We're just happy that your views are here for the whole world to see. We're happy with where we stand. Come back when you grow up a bit and we'll see if you still feel the same way
"Germany's attempt to invade all of Europe" Someone missed history lessons at school. Germany wanted to rule the world and destroy anyone that tried to stop them. The British stopped them with help from others. Dresden was a military target far more so than the jews slaughtered. You like the neo nazi that bring up dresden are anti English. In truth your band sucks, I am not just saying that because we disagree.
I dont know why they didn't ask me to be in the video I totally would have and SAD is like my favorite band ever.
