So me and you, just we two got to search for something new

The above lines from Roxy Music's 'Virginia Plain' (surely the best debut single ever) were quoted in the Guardian this morning, which served to remind me that the lyric also references Robert E. Lee.

Neither the commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia nor a steamboat


 Now that's about as tenuous a wargames connection as you can get, but the staff of the blog are somewhat desperate to up the relevant content. Anyway other Robert E Lee references (to the general rather than to boats named after him) can be found in songs by Johnny Cash and, of course, in 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' by Robbie Robertson which also mentions the Union general George Stoneman.

Not the sister-in-law of Sir Michael Jagger
