"A thousand people in the streets...."
Every element in the song below is present here....
FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH by BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD
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
Barbara, How can you believe in this Soros Crap ?
ReplyDeletemy kids 16, 16 and 14.. as of last yr, kind of woke up musically. as we get air play on this one, occasionally on what's now.. considered an 'oldies' station.. classic rock. i had an interesting time explaining the meaning/context on this one to them. :)
ReplyDeletethe twins were so intrigued, they wrote down the title/band, came home researched the lyrics, and bkmk'd it on the 'tube'.
another of their fav's... as they all love tolkien... zeppelin's 'battle of evermore' ...while in a more metaphysical/metaphorical bent, is also quite apt for today's world events.
Le Gall, I do not underestimate the power of numbers and the people. Soros may be behind it, and I believe he is considering he is a major owner of AdBusters who put the thing in motion but I also believe this could be the wild horse that could get away due to numbers and passion. TPTB could easily have underestimated the goyim ...
ReplyDeleteThis is a very fluid situation at present and I prefer not to undervalue or underestimate the contribution of people.
I am fully aware of the difficulties faced by those who speak the bottom line of truth. I am fully aware that the groups are infiltrated. Mr. Friend has proven that in his activities in San Jose.
I have a jaundiced eye... but I am also supporting those who care enough to put their regular lives on hold and get out and stand up together. This sharing of ideas and education has NEVER happened before among the American people and must be encouraged. It is a brilliant time for opportunity to educate no matter what happens. People awaken ....
I have a feeling violence will become part of the movement as the people get pushed harder by the PTB.. we see it already in Aus and Sacramento and a few other places. As I said, this is a fluid situation and I try to maintain an optimistic eye ... it is the only way to survive, no matter how apocalyptic my visions of tomorrow might be.
Here comes McGowan to spoil the moment.
ReplyDelete"despite what is commonly believed nowadays, the song is not a commentary on Vietnam War protests. Far from it. The event under consideration was the so-called Riot on the Sunset Strip, which involved about 1,000 kids who were demonstrating against the imposition of a curfew and the announcement that a popular club – Pandora’s Box, at 8118 Sunset Boulevard – was slated to be closed...
Even if the song had been about anti-war protests, it still would be an odd choice for a protest song. Lyrics such as “Singing songs and carrying signs, mostly say hooray for our side,” seem to largely dismiss the concerns of protestors. And the line “nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong” seems to suggest that protestors are no better than that which they are protesting against.
Another curious irony about the song is that it was authored by Stephen Stills, aka The Sarge, an authoritarian, law-and-order kind of guy if ever there was one. Stills himself later heaped derision on the very notion of a protest song: “We didn’t want to do another song like For What It’s Worth. We didn’t want to be a protest group. That’s really a cop-out and I hate that. To sit there and say, ‘I don’t like this and I don’t like that’ is just stupid.”"

Le Gall: how can you believe the crap about Soros starting this crap.
ReplyDeleteAdbusters did not start it. Anon did. Adbusters picked up on our city protests and I was protesting on Independence Day when it was called #op(city) and then it picked up steam with #opBart and the Troy Davis execution. Now it's worldwide as more and more people become aware of the globalist's agenda.
Even if he did start it, instead of attacking others for being on board with the #OWS, why don't you hop on and educate the young 'uns while making sure we don't get co-opted. Unless of course you want the multinationals to continue to start wars, destroy countries, while the illegal banker schemes and unconstitutional Fed rip us off.
First step is to get money out of politics and dismantle the Fed.
