It seems to me that, given the protests this past weekend, that we are, sadly, once again re-living the VietNam era with a much more corrupt crew in every area. Think--=-political witchunts, ignoring veteran needs scandals, constitutional shortcuts, etc; While there may well be newer artists that are addressing the issues ---Karma Farmers, Janet Bates come to mind I still think that Ochs and Paxton are speaking more directly to us. Paxton has updated material and---again--sadly---Ochs material does not need updating. I wonder how many people, who I heard on the news chanting "Peace Will Come" know who wrote it, and from what era it was. Probably many of a certain generation.
