Great song and one of my favorites from that time ... and even now. Peace and love. Good goals to aspire to in our daily lives but some seem to have forgotten that. Or as Elvis Costello would say, " What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding." Peace.
Allan- This is a great song, with an even greater timing. I echo this wholeheartedly: We need unity in a time of division. Hope you're well this week? Cheers, -Thalia
For what it’s worth, maybe this is where we are or will be:
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh)
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
You better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
For those who don'r know:
The lyrics for What It's Worth" is a song from the 1960s protest movements against the Vietnam War and civil rights demonstrations.
What a great idea - let's do get together - right now - as a country. Violence and hatred don't seem to be working all that well.
I agree

Do you remember the brief campaign to have this song declared the new U.S. National Anthem?
I do not but it’s a great idea
