This is a bump.
I subscribe to a great website TopTenz and today they had a Top 10 Protest Songs of the 1960's. I didn't disagree with many on the list, but think they should've included this vid.
Fantastic video to go along with the tune

This was my "theme song" back in h.s. I felt like it was written about me; we didn't have a lot of money and the Vietnam War was raging on and it was only a few years until I was old enough for the draft. (and I was in the last lottery, my number was 14!)
I love the song, it would be on my top 100 list, but it's the video that fascinates me. For some reason, I find A-Bomb blasts to be beautiful. I know that's odd, thinking that of something so horrible, but I guess I'M odd.
Guess, hell.
That is an amazing video to go along with that particular song. Good find.
I remember once hearing John Fogarthy interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR and she asked him about his particular pronunciations/his twang, when he sang and how it wasn't evident at all when he was speaking. And it was true, you would have never put his spoken voice with his singing voice if you'd had to try and match them.
