Does anyone know if there's a connection between this song and Tim O'Brien's book of the same name? I read the book and didn't really find any overwhelming similarities, but maybe there's something I overlooked? The book came out in 2002, and the song in 2003...
I was thinking the same thing. It's a great book and song, but I think that it's either pure coincidence or the Decemberists just decided that it was a cool name so went with it.
