Many years ago I heard a song slightly relevant to this topic, something about philosophical differenecs and folksinging:

(missing some lines here)
They performed with great virtuosity,
and soon they were the rage,
but political animosity
prevailed upon the stage.

(chorus)
The one in the middle was on the right,
and the one on the left was in the middle,
and the one on the right was on the left,
and the guy in the rear ...
burned his draft card.

There were several verses and they wind up in a band brawl. Anybody remember the lyrics to this one? For some reason I've got Alan Sherman in mind, but might be way off base.
