Educated at Harvard University, he also served in the Army during World War II. [Listener: David Sofield; date recorded: 2005] TRANSCRIPT: The special thing about Vachel Lindsay's wonderful poem, 'Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, Bryan' is that it's not Lindsay himself here and now at the time of writing spouting out of indignation, idealism or what not, it's Lindsay recording and recreating beautifully the high-minded, romantic, idealistic political feelings of young kids of 14 or 15 that qualifies everything that is said in Lindsay's poem. At the same time, nobody who reads Lindsay's poem could take it for an endorsement of the eastern capitalists with dollar signs upon their vests and spats on their feet. We know where he stood.
