The Mountain Goats - Soft Targets
“This is on a 7”, a split 7” with John Vanderslice, which is already sold out and I don’t have any copies to sell to you, so I’m sorry about that, alright… Anyway, it’s a love song, after a manner of speaking, it’s called… well, here’s the thing… in, you know, the US military has this way of coming up with nice ways of describing bad things, so, you have “hard targets,” that’s buildings, and military installations, and streets, right? And then you have “soft targets”…and that’s PEOPLE, right? This song is called soft targets…” —John Darnielle, 2003
