An underrated artist.

An early take of I don't Want To Be A Soldier.  Interesting list of contributing artists on this number.  What a collection of talent.  This might rival Lennon's album version appearing on his '71 Imagine LP.

George Harrison - slide guitar

Jim Keltner - drums

Klaus Voorman - bass

Nicky Hopkins - piano

Joey Molland - acoustic guitar

Mike Pinder - acoustic guitar

Not a Nam protest song but a 60's civil rights protest song, and Nina Simone's first.  Mississippi Goddam performed live at Carnegie Hall, New York, in '64.  60 years hence and soon us poor whitey's are gonna have to hit the streets with our own civil rights protests against the discrimination and suppression by black, brown, yellow, trans, LGBQT+++++++++ folks.

One of the best anti Vietnam war song lyrics was John Prine's (d. April 7, 2020) Sam Stone from his '71 self-titled debut album.  The song was originally titled “Great Society Conflict Veteran’s Blues.”

 

[Verse 1]
Sam Stone came home to his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas
And the time that he served had shattered all his nerves
And left a little shrapnel in his knee

But the morphine eased the pain
And the grass grew round his brain
And gave him all the confidence he lacked
With a Purple Heart and a monkey on his back

[Chorus]
There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose
Little pitchers have big ears
Don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
Mmm...

[Verse 2]
Sam Stone's welcome home didn't last too long
He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
And Sammy took to stealing when he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime

And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose
While the kids ran around wearin' other people's clothes

[Chorus]
There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose
Little pitchers have big ears
Don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
Mmm...

[Verse 3]
Sam Stone was alone when he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air

But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the G.I. Bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes' hill

[Chorus]
There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose
Little pitchers have big ears
Don't stop to count the years
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
Mmm...

The Doors' The Unknown Soldier off of their '68 Waiting For The Sun.  Morrison was inspired to write the song's lyrics after he visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, at the Arlington National Cemetery on November 25, 1967.  Reportedly, producer Paul Rothchild was so particular about how the song came out that it ultimately took over 130 takes to finish.

 

The song is set to the 16mm publicity film for the song featuring the band was directed and produced by Edward Dephoure and Mark Abramson.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

The Kingston Trio were the first to cover Where Have All The Flowers Gone? written by Pete Seeger in '55.  Recorded as a non-album single in '61.  The video hits home as to the utter senselessness and madness which so many to this day delusionally argue as a necessary and unavoidable fact of life.  The utter senselessness is the resultant matched only by the utter lack of understanding.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Marvin Gaye with What's Going On, the title track of his '71 album.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

The Chambers Brothers with Time Has Come Today (the long, full version is the best) recorded and released as a single in '66 until being featured on the album The Time Has Come in November '67.

 

Oh, fer f.k's sake, just like there are those who wish that we don't understand the true reasons for war there are those who wish we only see what they want us to see.  In either case it's needed obfuscation so that they can continue on with implementing their insanity free of opposition.

If I could go back in time and observe any war, it would be Vietnam.

 

It had the best soundtrack of all.

I remember as a teenager seeing that on the BBC news . It was shocking, the cold blooded murder.We had no idea what was really going on.What has spurred this flurry of Vietnam War protest songs, Tippers?
