Most of these people weren’t actually alive then, but they’ve seen enough to know that people were weird back then. Funny that. What goes around comes around. Read this, then continue below.
There's something happening here
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
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
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
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
For those of you who have suffered through my plaint, my lament, console yourselves with the fact that you’re a better person than those who didn’t have the courage to face reality. Therefore, they quit reading. Doesn’t that make you feel smug?
Schadenfreude.

I'm a big fan of Stephen Stills! Wish the Buffalo Springfield would have done the reunion tour that was in the works for this year... alas.

Rebecca,
Pls drop me a note. Just tried to email you, but the edress I have is apparently no longer good. I need another copy of your book ASAP in prep for an interview later this month with David Evans, who was a friend and early playing partner of Al's. http://blogcritics.org/music/article/david-evans-a-well-kept-secret/ I didn't see any means to contact you through your site. Lemme know and I can send paypal or AmEx or check. Thanks.
