Excellent song, great album, prophetic.

America, what have you done to your sons and daughters?

I remember Jim Quinn playing it on his morning talkshow in Pittsburgh back in the 1990’s onward.

Thank you.

When I was 10 years old my dad gave me a portable 8-track player and two tapes: Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf.

This song wasn’t on the 8-track I had, but it still brought back memories my departed father.

Here’s the Steppenwolf lyrics I often think of:

If you’ve been contemplatin’ just what you’re doin’ wrong
Then you will be a witness to the rumble goin’ on
You fight it hard to tell apart the truth from the jive
They’ve got a right to say it wrong if freedom’s to survive

from For Ladies Only

Great tune and band. View “Wild in the Streets” for more prophecy.

My all time favorite group! My ex wasn’t the best guy in the world, but I traded taking him to see Rowdy Roddy Piper up close and he returned the favor by taking me to see John Kay (long after their heyday). I was one table away from him and could almost have touched him with an outstretched arm (lol...and I sure did think about trying...). Best thing my ex ever did for me...

...and yes the song was prophetic.
