Subject: Lyr Req: We'll all be free someday antiwar Viet From: GUEST,Brad Sondahl Date: 17 Feb 20 - 04:44 PM I heard this song on the radio once in the 1970's and was taken by it, but can't locate it via the Google or the Wikipedia antiwar songs. The lyrics I remember were: Come on brothers and sisters, let's all go join the army, When we get down to it, We'll all be free someday Ref: We'll be free someday We'll be free someday We'll be free someday We'll all be free someday... probably had more verses... Of course on the surface it seems more like a recruitment song, but it had a satiric hippy vibe to it... So I'm hoping someone heard it that also heard who did it.. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We'll all be free someday antiwar Viet From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Feb 20 - 06:46 PM I've always liked Country Joe. About ten or more years ago, he was doing a concert of Woody Guthrie songs in Sacramento. I tried to get tickets at the door, but they were sold out. A few minutes before the concert, Joe came out and gave free tickets to four of us who were in line. I couldn't believe it! Great concert, and what a nice guy. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We'll all be free someday antiwar Viet From: cnd Date: 17 Feb 20 - 09:11 PM Very interesting link for anyone who is interested in music and its relation to the war: The Vietnam War Song Project This YouTube channel posts hundreds of songs from the Vietnam War era - both pro- and anti-war. They don't have a song under the name of "Free Some Day," but definitely an awesome resource. |
