Antiwar Protest song by the Spicewood Seven of Austin, Texas; Music Video by famed italian post-realist director Antonio Zapanini
The thought occured to me that we aren't seeing very much protest music; at least compared to what came out of the Vietnam era... I guess a draft will do something to motivate the twenty-somethings that dominate the music scene...
Then I thought about what an non-drafted service looks like. I hearkened back to my days in the Marine Corps... I was from upstate New York, and everywhere I went in the MArine Corps... well, looking back, it's amazing how many people were from the South. Sure, there were plenty from California and New York - we were represented... But it seems that a lot of my friends were from Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, Iowa, Texas, etc...
So I guess it shouldn't surprise me that this video is from a country group.
