A special counter-culture song.
I associate it with the US protest movements against Vietnam and the ensuing slaying of students by The National Guard.

Sounds ahead of their time.

Being the youngest of six, I grew up listening to the 60's music. So much more loving in this kind of music, rather than the anarchical crap that's synthesized nowadays

I was tempted to post it as I loved it in the 60s but was concerned about 'disappointing' lyrics. The Heavy Metal Kids 'Cops are coming' on the 70s thread, f'rinstance. Will listen to this one later.
The first ska record to reach no.1 in the uk, apparently

Millie, that is

Loved this as far back as I can remember.
Written by John Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas.
Mary Travers, a beautiful voice.
Goosebumps. I love the long ending from 03:18.
Dirge! (IMO)
My apologies. It was the Rioja speaking.
My late father-in-laws favourite record.

Joan sang this for me and my wife a few years ago at The Hawth in Crawley, and also for our friends as it was our joint Wedding Anniversary. Both friends have since died.
My daughter and I had this as a "last dance" at her wedding before I handed her over to her new husband for their "first dance".
This song (and Joan Baez) are very important to me.
