When you hear about history repeating itself and think back to the lyrics and messages of great songs of the past. This is VERY relevant today. What a classic.
As I type this, cities across America are burning. Curfews are being placed, but people are still heading out. America is sick and tired of being sick and tired - especially since it's now unified against their government and its wrongdoings. Like 53 years ago, we are undergoing a historic political turning point. As long as history repeats and lessons are forgettably learned, this song will ALWAYS be timeless. Safe stay, y'all!
One of the most powerful lines in a song, ever: Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. Explains our current political systems throughout the world...perfectly.
Many, many people believe that this song was written for the Vietnam War... but it wasn't. It was describing a street demonstration in Hollywood in 1966 when teenagers were protesting police brutality, cops throwing kids in jail just for being out after 10PM. How do I know that?? BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THEM.
