01/18/2008 | Elvis Costello tune that reminds us of the hangover from the time of Oliver Cromwell of the middle 17th Century that still abides with us as we move further into the 21st Century. The song relates to the British occupation of northeast Ireland that persists today.

02/16/2006 | An Elvis Costello tune, and a fine one, that berates the leader of a neo-fascist English party.
Oops, I made a mistake, actually the song 'Less than Zero" was about fascist leader Oswald Mosley. "Olivers Army" is a tune that Costello actually wrote while in Belfast. He was troubled by the situation there, and drew parallels between contemporary events and events of Cromwellian times-"Oliver" is obviously a reference to Cromwell.
