Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Protest Music as Responsible Citizenship, trailer




     Coming of age in the late sixties, protest music was everywhere.  This trailer shows a few of the artists and features a bit of their music.  We could use more of this, today. (Maybe it is out there in the world of hip/hop but I cannot make out the lyrics-lol).

     Here is a link to protest music of that era.  I intend to go back to listen to them all later.

 Here is an anti-war classic:  Eve of Destruction, by Barry McGuire.


Another classic, Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth.


Simon and Garfunkel, Silent Night/7 o'clock news

    And finally, Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon and the Plastic ONO band.

      That will do it for this morning.
