How come with all the anti-Iraq war sentiment out there we didn't get any really cool protest songs like we had during Nam?
Forgotten genre? No talent for writing meaningful songs? Only allowed to write songs bean counters approve for the most buck for the note?
Sad.
I still have it on Woodstock.
"Come on all of you big strong men Uncle SAM needs your help again...
Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box...
and it's 1,2,3 what are we fighting for????"
Country Joe MacDonald
Now during that era was Patriotism of the highest sort, people disagreeing with the government and speaking out. Kids these days are nothing but sheep. They remind me of that Star Trek episode where some planet fought a war by computer if it told you you were killed you reported to a death chamber and didn't question it. Kids these days actually think the government knows what it's doing and has their best interest at heart. So sad. The ones to really blame are the parents who never taught them about true freedom, how freedom isn't safety, and as the patch on my leathers says "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE". Freedom isn't closed borders, or locked down government buildings. No; freedom is realizing you take risks but they are worth it because you choose the life you want and defend it. "Life for those who fight for it has a flavor the sheltered never taste".
Bring back America make it once again the LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. Get out and vote. Get rid of the incumbents and bring in people who will restore America and give it back to Americans.
