A humanitarian and believer in ending world hunger, Harry Chapin came from an era which, given the disastrous farce now being played out by the feeble-minded racist, sexist psychopath in the White House, we must now conclude has passed irrevocably into history.
Chapin, all but forgotten today, took storytelling in song to a very special place, as evidenced in this tale of a washed-up radio jock who phones his ex-wife with a sad and pathetic plea to reunite. She rejects him, and he is left to cling on to his professional achievements, which, we can deduce, are nothing like as successful as he reports them to be.
Onslaught is available for pre-order at the special introductory price of $2.99 in the US here, in the UK here, in Canada here, and in Australia here.
