| As far as the socio-political slant of this song, Ten Years After played at Woodstock (1969.) Case closed. This has never been a conservative song. I was 16 when this song was released. Yes, it was a tumultuous time and confusing for many people. | |

@[Geezeration:46770] So true! I was 16 then, also, although I wasn’t very confused about these issues. I knew I was on the hippie-counterculture-Vietnam War protestor side of issues and was very inspired to take actions to try to change the world: inspired by the first Earth Day to recycle for my whole neighborhood (back when it was a lot of work), starting an organic garden (back when that was very counterculture), later campaigning for equal rights for women and for McGovern for President… I don’t think we were as comfort with homosexuality as we are today, but I don’t remember that we young people really so bigoted to refer to “dykes and fairies” as lacking sanity — the one line I don’t like in this song. |
