His phrasing was so intuitive and beautiful.
Wonderful song, wonderful singing - with depth and heart.
Thanks for posting that historical treasure.
There haven’t been any “very good years” since the 50’s.
It’s such a depressing song and I thought so in my 20’s.
Cheer up! Go to youtube and listen to Barry McGuires “Eve of Destruction”. It’ll put a smile on your face.
The joyous part of that song was it never happened.
As far as the midterms, this is nowhere near as bad as 2009.
