There were several types of flares during WW1; the most popular being a star flare, which has a parachute to slow the decent. My own interpretation of the "scar" is the scarred landscape version mentioned earlier. Star flares dont really give off burning embers to speak of. All that WW1 re-enacting finally pays off....

If you ever have occassion to see one in real life, think of the line about leaving a scar and it will make sense- the red-white ones leave a trail hanging in the sky- (which is the point of a flare, normally, to mark the position of somethiing or someone, say, these days most likely in a rescue or distress situation-) that does indeed look like a scar, red and angry across the night sky. Nice verbage and description, imho. Reserved our tix for godfrey daniels- the lady there said there were 15 reservations ahead of us and she anticipates a good crowd... sounds cool to me! She mentioned she remembered when richard and john gorka used to do the open mic nights there 20 years ago. jim ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2001 11:24:39 EDT From: Rongrittz@aol.com Subject: [RS] More courier . . . I keep forgetting to mention my absolute favorite moment in the song. It's in the second verse, at the 2:20 mark, when the drummer hits a wonderful double beat, sending the song into a whole 'nother vibe.
