From Nixon, Vietnam, nuclear arms, war, the environment, and being human on this beautiful earth. He was dismissed many times in the music world of being too sappy. Well, not for me. He was a truly talented guitarist and singer songwriter. Yes, he had his faults, but don’t we all?

(journalist), attacked anyone not deemed a raving, militant "Christian", beat kids that had long hair or were otherwise different, killed people of color, raped and murdered freely, and inserted themselves in gov. and churches. SC in the '50s - '70s. I despise those bastards.
