I know the musical Hair very well. That song was about the end of dreams and all to often the end of young life.
The political situation today is just as bad. We have new kinds of wars, but they are wars all the same. The best I can hope for is for cooler and more intelligent heads than Dolt 45's bring us a better result.

in the upcoming months of returning.....one of my favorite musicals and music of the era.... gave me hope in the anti-fascist/war theme. Johnson was still in the drivers seat but he was winding down and Nixon was right around the corner. Now we have a trump.....deja vu'? Another cycle of widespread warfare that can't be kept out of the MSM/news?
