Dafuck Ken Burns?

Whoever wrote the songs Greensleeves and The Battle Hymn of the Republic sure made a killing from the Ken Burns PBS Civil War doc. I mean, nobody coulda written a third gotdam song? - XMASTIME, 2014

I've spent 30 years assuming the one goddam song that winds its way through all zillion hours of his amazing documentary on the Civil War was at LEAST as old as the war itself, that obviously the reason it was played constantly is because it was popular back in the day....but it turns out it was written in 198fucking2???? The Ashoken Farewell:

"Ashokan Farewell" is a musical piece composed by the American folk musician Jay Ungar in 1982.  Despite its late date of composition, it was included in the 1991 compilation album, Songs of the Civil War.

I mean dafuck this song is like the Scientology of Civil War documentary songs!! 😡😡😡😡
