For some reason, during his Nineties run of inexplicable hits on the Country charts, Billy Ray Cyrus wrote two highly political songs, but from wildly different platforms. The first, "Some Gave All", was the title track of his debut album, and it was … [Continue reading]
“From a Distance” by Bette Midler
