I'm very much fascinated by the pro-war songs about the Iraq war. Clint Black's "Iraq and I Roll" is my favorite. Its simultaneously hilarious, sad, and dumbfounding that there were a whole slew of songs encouraging a pointless war, like the writers were begging to be lied to and used. It turned the whole spirit of the Viet Nam protest movent into a farce.

But to answer your question, I'm pretty sure Highway 61 Revisited killed folk in one fell swoop.
