Most of the things that they talk about did happen, but I’m not sure if the years on the Congo war or the timeline in general works out. I like this song, It's another genius work of a genius musician. Sure, robbing a bank for an organization that was trying to bring about violent change, but in robbing a bank she is still just trying to get rich while fighting the political battle. And that patty hurst, the most notorious picture of her on the public record is her robbing a bank. So if it's money that they are fightin for, what fight does Roland carry on? The fight to get rich in war? Or just the fight of soldiers and mercanaries fighting because they can and they can help themselves by doing it? They fight to bring about political change, that is true, but really they just fight for the pay. "They fought to earn their living" and van Owen presumably didn't just do the cia a favor in killing Roland. The mercenary of Roland and van Owen just about all do what they do for profit. So in “the headless horseman” the horseman was a hessian mercenary fighting against people that weren't his enemies, and fighting for a country that wasn't his. 45 acp round, which has a lot of head hurting potential, but not enough to blow your head all the way off. On the second level I think that the song owes something to the "headless horseman.” I think that this is intentional because the Thompson fires a. so on the first level it is about politcal change via violent revolutions. The cia being in it's most whacked-out "do anything to stop the commies" phase, which led it to do at least a little just about everywhere in the world. The events do, the mercenaries being hired to fight and bring about political action through fighting.
WARREN ZEVON ROLAND THE HEADLESS THOMPSON GUNNER FULL
She was later given a full pardon by Bill Clinton. She was sentenced to 35 years in jail, but her sentence was commuted by Jimmy Carter and she was released from jail after serving a mere 22 months. Psychiatrists said she was a victim of Stockholm Syndrome. Later she assumed the pseudonym 'Tania' after Che Guevara's closest female confidant. She wielded a M1 carbine during the robbery. She took part in a bank robbery at the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco. She definitely had not "bought it" in the sense of "buying the farm" or "dying in battle" as some have alluded to. She "bought it" in the sense of adopting the SLA's beliefs and philosophies. I believe ".and bought it" means that after she was kidnapped by the guerrilla group "The Symbionese Liberation Army", she literally "bought it". Heard the burst of Roland's Thompson Gun and bought it.
As far as the final line that reads, " Patty Hearst Together they wrote, "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner". It was owned by a character named David Lindell.
He wound up living and playing regularly at a bar called "The Dubliner". In the mid '70's, he moved to Sitges, Spain. How do these stories with just the slightest grain of truth get started? Warren was not a mercenary. In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson Gun Time stands still for Roland til he evens up the score
