Aden

DESCRIPTION: "It was in a Maala back street, Standing by the brothel door, Stood a tall and proud young airman" -- as a whore tells him, "You're just like your dad, 25 years ago... And like him you've fallen low." Venereal disease, war -- it's all the same again

NOTES [28 words]: Page-ForGawdsakeDontTakeMe spells the place in this song "Maala," but as best I can tell from the Google Map of Aden, it should be "Ma'alla." It is in Aden in Yemen. - RBW
