| Refused – Protest Song '68 Lyrics | 10 months ago |
|
@.insomnia 1968 was marked by war and protest, tragedy and revolution—a year around which a whole era of political turmoil, cultural change, and social unrest turned. So much upend in law and order within one year that the terrified 'leets initiated a 50-year stark regression in 1971 when Nixon signed a backdoor deal with Saudi Arabia to replace the gold standard with the petrodollar. It's time for the pendulum to swing the other way, imbued with the spirit of '68 • The Tet Offensive and the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam. • The “Prague Spring” liberalizations in Czechoslovakia, followed by the Soviet invasion. • The assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis, sparking rage and grief around the country. • Two months later, the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles. • The Poor Peoples’ Campaign. • In France and Senegal, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist student demonstrations. • In Rio de Janeiro, the March of the One Hundred Thousand against the Brazilian military dictatorship. • African-American crusades for racial pride and a more Afrocentric curriculum—and against police violence and endemic poverty. • The publication of A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Leguin; Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick; The Double Helix, by James Watson; The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, by Tom Wolfe; House Made of Dawn, by N. Scott Momaday; Myra Breckenridge, by Gore Vidal; Soul on Ice, by Eldridge Cleaver; and Pedagogy of the Oppressed, by Paulo Freire. • The release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rosemary’s Baby, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Night of the Living Dead, Prelude, Planet of the Apes, The Boys of Paul Street, and Funny Girl. • In Atlantic City, a feminist rally against the Miss America pageant. • The Catonsville Nine and other anti-war actions around the world. • The launch of the Apollo 7 mission, the first to carry a crew into space. • The disastrous collapse of the Consol No. 9 coal mine in Farmington, West Virginia. • The beginning of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. • The election of President Richard Nixon. • Shoot-outs between police and Black Power activists in Oakland and Cleveland. • On Star Trek, the first nationally televised interracial kiss. |
