you CANNOT in any way shape or form compare the Beatles to the Monkees, who were a FABRICATED group for a TV show. Ur mom might not have been in the music the way I was. She might be older then m...
Yes, but just because there were a lot of great bands (which there were) doesn't mean they had really different sounds. A lot of them were of one type of music or another (I think that's what Dan w...
Dion sang a song "Abraham Martin and John* which was pretty political, about *great* men getting assasinated b/c of thier ideology.
Abraham, Martin And John
by Dion
Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.
Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day ...
Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walk up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John
Yeah, but that was not the most common type of music. Today, it's common to find peoples political views in their music or just their views on anything. People are allowed to be critical and it's to be expected.
Well common all of you big strong men, uncle sam needs your help again,
he got himself in a terrible jam, way down yander in Vietnam,
put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gunna have a whole lotta fun.
CHORUS
and its 1,2,3 what are we fightin for?
dont ask me i dont give a dam, the next stop is Vietnam,
and its 5,6,7 open up the pearly gates. Well there aint no time to wonder why...WHOPEE we're all gunna die.
now common wall street dont be slow, why man this's war go go go,
theres plenty good money to be made, supplyin the army with the tools of the trade,
just dont be afraid if ya drop the bomb, you drop it onta Vietnam.
CHORUS
now common generals lets move fast, your big chance is here at last.
nite you go out and get those reds cuz the only good cocky is one thats dead,
you know that peace can only be won, when you blow em all with'ol gun.
CHORUS
now common mothers around the land, pack your boys off to vietnam,
common fathers don't hesatate, send your sons off before its too late,
be the first one to con your glock, and your boy go home in a box
CHORUS
Alrite !!!!!!!
***1968, not political????
watch the movie Wododstock.
BTW trooper rather than paste an entire song here, how bout just a lines and an ARTIST and TITLE? that helps a lot.
But who sang that song? Are they a famous person who influenced a lot of the young people of their time? Or were they a one-hit wonder?
sorry. i thought the whole song needed to be posted.
It was written by Country Joe McDonald and is calle the I'm Fixin to Die Rag
I loved peace marches. It was a good cause and a great way to meet guys ;)
