    Jesus, this tune has legs! If anything it’s even more relevent now than it was in the 60’s. Unfortunately, that train of freedom is still long overdue. Peace in the valley? If only. I dare anyone to write a song like this today: One that makes ya play air drums and search for a social balance at the same time.

    I understood that the Rascals wrote and performed this song in the wake of Bobby Kennedy’s assassination, as a tribute to him.

    This needs to be Iran’s National Anthem! There’s gotta be a way to pipe this song into the chambers of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and all their henchmen, sublimial influence may seep into the tiny brains, not sure about the black hearts, although, I suppose one can always hope…

    I hear you, my friend.

    Try not to let that dirt bag get you down.

    The revolution is happening now.

    Both parties are bought and controlled by Wal Street, the Federal Reserve and the corporations.

    The proletariat class (you and me) just want to be free. And this is universal.

    Our common enemy is the ruling predatory class (that is bankers and corporations) that have bought off the government and use it as the tool to enforce their tyranny upon all of us.

    I grew up with this band – one of many that influenced me – they were ahead of their time. Just listen. Huh huh, yeah!

    This song, in fact, was partly a reaction to an ugly encounter in which the long-haired group was threatened by a group of rednecks after their tour vehicle broke down in Fort Pierce, Florida.
