I was saddened to hear this week of the death of Dolores O'Riordan, the front woman of The Cranberries. Although the Vietnam War certainly has the best soundtrack, the song Zombie was released at the same time as my regiments' posting to Belfast. It is a protest song about 'The Troubles' that Dolores wrote in response to an IRA bomb in Warrington (UK) which caused the deaths of 2 children. At the time it was a favourite amongst squaddies.
