We saw a great cover of this at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge in Nashville. :heart:

During the Iran Hostage Crisis, they used to tie yellow ribbons around the trees located at the homes of the hostages.

I remember the Gulf War with George Bush Sr. There were yellow ribbons then. I was very worried about all my American cousins being conscripted. My mother always had my family on alert that they might show up in hiding with us like Anne Frank. 8O

Then there was the parody done by Second City TV: Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Dodge Omni, by whatever member of the group (I forget who) that was portraying Lee Iacocca. :wink:
(I owned a 1983 Dodge Omni when I lived between Chicago and Rockford. Didn’t have it very long, since no one ever told me the stock 2.2L Mitsubishi designed engine Chrysler built was an interference engine, meaning when the timing belt broke, it destroyed the engine! :skull: :skull: :evil:

Almost had the same problem with my next car: a 1986 Plymouth Reliant, which was built in the same town I lived in for about 2 months before I moved back to PA: Belvidere, IL. As the saying goes: Once burned, twice shy.

There was no draft during the Gulf War.....nobody should have been worried about being "conscripted."

I'm thinking of the Door's song "Love Her Madly."

I know there was no conscription, but my mother is prone to nervous hysteria and she kept worrying it would happen.

I remember that the feelings about Viet Nam were so bad that the song changed it to coming home from jail. It was obvious at the time and was kind of sad, for such a cheerful song. Sorta like families of soldiers had to speak in code.

It's one of the songs that gets in my head fairly often.
