What's that spell?

What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Viet Nam.

Iconic song of the anti-war group.

With guitarist Barry Melton, quintessential SF sound like Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape, the Dead. The "Fish" is a Stalin reference, the boys were hardcore left their whole lives. Go figure.

All the entertainers from our youth are getting up there in age.

Keith Richards and Willie Nelson will be the only ones around to celebrate our nations 300th anniversary!
