“Hero”-ic Songs

I'd like to tell you that this post originated because I was feeling particularly heroic at the time, or because I or someone I know recently did something heroic. But that would be lying. There were simply a number of good songs about heroes that I wanted to post, and so I did. And that was as good a reason as any. Enjoy!  ~  JH
