This should not be Ron Paul's campaign song, or any of his fellow contenders. This song is about FREEDOM and UNDERSTANDING. Anyone who considers themselves "conservative" can't possibly relate to what this song means.
people cant be free until they remove the shakels of superstition have to learn to seperate mythology from reality man invented mythology/gods/religions to cope with the harsh realities of everyday life and to cope with ones own personal mortality its called a denial of fatalism
@pmginkc There were several events that helped create this song: the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., plus the 1968 event known as "Prague Spring", in which the Czech people tried to overthrow their Soviet masters and implement democratic policies. Their country was basically invaded by the Soviets, and most/all reforms crushed. I guess I attributed this song more to that event than the assassinations, but they all certainly could have played a part.
As someone else said, this should be one of the themes of the Occupy Movement. This and Jefferson Airplane's "We Can Be Together" are perfect themes for what they are trying to get across.
@nisto95 Freedom comes with responsibility. Infringing on others rights, to selfishly promote your views, is wrong. OWS is the other 1%. Selfish, immature, moral narcissists.
Bringing no change, a noisome irritation, part of the problem not the solution.
@kanawa I disagree with your statement & name calling. I gather that it's okay with you that corporate greed & fraud, has cost the American citizens tax dollars, they're homes, jobs, education etc. "freedom comes with responsibility", Wall street acted responsibly with our money? So why the was the HUGE bailout necessary? This didn't infringe on our rights? As tax paying citizens? you're OK with having to pay for Corporate criminal misconduct, yet have a problem with a little noise? Sheesh...
@chesapeakepeg, True dat! When the hell are we going to start using more brain power? It saddens me to think that little has changed... too much stupidity and negativity. Man's objectives should be to work for all that is good and better society and the world. It's time we all grow up and open are hearts and mind. I pray for all that is true and good. May G-d shine his ever lovi'n light on us all. Can I get and AMEN?
im loving these songs this mornin and yes im 48 and remember the best of times being little and singing the songs... now im playing them for my teenage boys who r shocked that i still remember the words...
Seems to me, you've got to solve it individually ! Words to live by. Don't rely on your government to solve your problems or the world's problems. Start by doing it yourself
this song is all about the golden rule...treat others as you want to be treated. never do something to another human that you would not want someone doing to you. simple and real!!!
I love the vocal harmonies. Can't do that now days or you'd be attacked and accused of being a "boy" band for teenage girls.
That is really sad.
I love this kind of music. But anything recorded today like this, with vocal harmonies, would be laughed at, and ridiculed. And nobody would confess to actually liking it.
We all dig the hip hop tho. Don't we? We be so cool.
oh and just because im a redneck and im from down south and wave a confederate flag doesnt mean i support racism. i have alot of black friends that can back that up.
@CumminsCrazedredneck How interesting... I don't normally think of white Southerners as being particularly racist. (In fact, I actually think NORTHERN whites AND blacks are more racist in certain ways.) I'd probably look askance at a Confederate flag. I'm sure there are people who DO fly it "to support the southern way of life", but both Confederate flags and "states' rights" are USUALLY a euphemism for something kind of ugly...
haha. this reminds me of when i went up to michigan to do some work with my dad whos a truck driver. people up there where talkin about me and my dads southern accent. haha. i just had enough and said fuck off. i usually get along pretty well with northerners, aka yankees. i just heard this song and i had to laugh. i just have to say, dont judge a man by the way he talks or where he comes from yall. just cause we talk slower and live a slower pace of life dont mean that southerners are dumb.
haha. this reminds me of when i went up to michigan to do some work with my dad whos a truck driver. people up there where talkin about me and my dads southern accent. haha. i just had enough and said fuck off. i usually get along pretty well with northerners, aka yankees. i just heard this song and i had to laugh.
My sister and I were just two little black girls growing up in brooklyn. She had a crush on felix and I loved dino. It was the beginning of so many things, civil rights movement, hippy days. Wonderful time and I loved the rascals. Groovin, how can I be sure, it's a beautiful morning, people just want to be free. Just loved the rascals. Color didn't matter
@funkberto Thank you for the info on the bassist on this song. The Rascals did noy have a bass player in the band so they hired session players. Mr. Jemmot definately is "in the pocket" with Dino on drums .
REMEMBER THIS SONG PLAYING ON THE RADIO AS A YOUNG CHILD IN HARLEM AND IT MADE ME FELL GOOD EVEN ~~THIS SONG WAS FOR US BECAUSE OF OF SEGREGATION ~THANK YOU LORD GOD FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MORNINGS AND THIS SONG AND WELL AS THE ARTIST ~~~~~~~~~

@Ginger32000 T all the freedom fighters in the middle rast????? aaa what ,, Dude that song was done in my prime when the freedom that there talking was right here in the good ole USA . I don't know how old you are but did you ever here of Ohio state an all the shit that went down in our own country? read your history book. But things are much better now,,,,,,, Same as it ever was

As we celebrate the people of Egypt's new found freedom ... it's a time to remember what a lovely world it could be if we call came together rather than using our differences to create hatred.
Listening to this song (and a few other Rascals songs) can pick me up. Sometimes I listen to stuff that's darker or less upbeat when I'm not feeling good, but when I feel or want to feel good, this song and a lot of others from the '60s can pick me up nicely. Can't help but smile while listening to it. Some people try upbeat and come across as annoying, the Rascals did it very well.
I'm one of those "young folks" too, just turned 24 last month. 60s-80s is my music. Love it.
@HomeDepot20TS Check out "Mungo Jerry" "In the Summertime" if you don't know it. There was a really good vid of it on YT, I guess it's still here, I'm going to look right now.
Great thing about The Rascals: they didn't just preach their beliefs, they practiced them. They insisted that a black singer/group be the opening act. That cost them a LOT of gigs in the south.
songs such as this one,have a good message 2 them.and lets not 4get,the 1 by Sly and the family Stone Every Day People,and who could ever 4get the 1 by the Youngbloods Get Together,and it does my heart good 2 see a lot of the young folks,love these OLDIES but GOLDIES.
@SkyAngel1959 Great comment.......... perhaps you could add to the list '' Walk a Mile in my Shoes '' Joe South, a great singer, songwriter of the 60's and 70's...................

I always liked the Rascals, but really got into them when me and a buddy went to Fort Lauderdale during spring break of our first year of college. ( 1969 ) We met a few girls that attended Northern Michigan University and they really liked the Rascals. Two of these girls drove home with us and most of the time we had the Rascals playing on my eight track. Linda Saraphenie and Carol Rudolphi. Those were the days!
I spent part of the summer of 1969 diving for abalone up by Fort Bragg in Northern California Camping at Van Dam park (recommended) This song and other Rascal songs were being played constantly I still play their music all the time. Man the time has just flown by.
speaking of record turn tables...when my oldest son was young he happened to stumble on some of my old 45s in a record case. Hey Mom, he said...."These records don't have any grooves." I had played those records many many times on my car record player. Every time that I'd hit a bump, the needle would glide over the grooves and slowly wear them down. The records still play to this day, they just don't have any visible grooves!
@bnylons hammond organs had the spring reverb first also a black box echo chamber then fender guitar amps had the spring reverb [ my girlfriends father had a car one ]
@spacepatrolman And after a very short time I started with the eight tracks. I had a brand new 1968 Mustang when I was a senior in high school and that record player just didn't seem to get it. I can remember those days like it was yesterday!
@bnylons yea I graduated in 69 a friend had a 4 track car player the tapes were clear plastic you had to flip them over or listen to the same side over and over no clicking from track to track like on the sheild by deep purple on the other guys 8 track
@spacepatrolman Honestly, I have no idea what a four track is or was. In my mind I am visualizing a casset tape. ( clear plastic that had to be flipped ) You must have been ahead of your times.
@bnylons 4 tracks were before 8 tracks and cassetes smaller than an 8 track shaped like an 8 track clear plastic with a picture of the album cover pasted on they didnt catch on with the public [the first audio cassettes were experimental not available to the public the size of a beta max tape the player the size of a jukebox] a lot of resarch and developement to get a phone booth full of wires into something small same thing with synthesizers
@bnylons that guy had some good records on 4 track ogdens nut gone ,magic bus ,face to face the big hits from eangland ,clear light ,get that feeling.

As timeless a message here in '11, as it was back in '68, right, gang? Billboard's 245th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless!

Listening to this song (and a few other Rascals songs) can pick me up. Sometimes I listen to stuff that's darker or less upbeat when I'm not feeling good, but when I feel or want to feel good, this song and a lot of others from the '60s can pick me up nicely. Can't help but smile while listening to it. Some people try upbeat and come across as annoying, the Rascals did it very well.
I'm one of those "young folks" too, just turned 24 last month. 60s-80s is my music. Love it.

@HomeDepot20TS Check out "Mungo Jerry" "In the Summertime" if you don't know it. There was a really good vid of it on YT, I guess it's still here, I'm going to look right now.

Great thing about The Rascals: they didn't just preach their beliefs, they practiced them. They insisted that a black singer/group be the opening act. That cost them a LOT of gigs in the south.

The Libertarian Anthem !!!! This tune is the perfect antidote to John Lennon's Imagine.

I always liked the Rascals, but really got into them when me and a buddy went to Fort Lauderdale during spring break of our first year of college. ( 1969 ) We met a few girls that attended Northern Michigan University and they really liked the Rascals. Two of these girls drove home with us and most of the time we had the Rascals playing on my eight track. Linda Saraphenie and Carol Rudolphi. Those were the days!

I spent part of the summer of 1969 diving for abalone up by Fort Bragg in Northern California Camping at Van Dam park (recommended) This song and other Rascal songs were being played constantly I still play their music all the time. Man the time has just flown by.

speaking of record turn tables...when my oldest son was young he happened to stumble on some of my old 45s in a record case. Hey Mom, he said...."These records don't have any grooves." I had played those records many many times on my car record player. Every time that I'd hit a bump, the needle would glide over the grooves and slowly wear them down. The records still play to this day, they just don't have any visible grooves!

@bnylons records are perishable did you have a car reverb that sounds like wipeout when you hit a bump
spacepatrolman 1 year ago
@spacepatrolman I sure did. It was sort of a springy sound. But, for it's time I thought that it was the 'cat's pajamas.'
bnylons 1 year ago
@bnylons hammond organs had the spring reverb first also a black box echo chamber then fender guitar amps had the spring reverb [ my girlfriends father had a car one ]
spacepatrolman 1 year ago
@spacepatrolman And after a very short time I started with the eight tracks. I had a brand new 1968 Mustang when I was a senior in high school and that record player just didn't seem to get it. I can remember those days like it was yesterday!

@bnylons yea I graduated in 69 a friend had a 4 track car player the tapes were clear plastic you had to flip them over or listen to the same side over and over no clicking from track to track like on the sheild by deep purple on the other guys 8 track
spacepatrolman 1 year ago
@spacepatrolman Honestly, I have no idea what a four track is or was. In my mind I am visualizing a casset tape. ( clear plastic that had to be flipped ) You must have been ahead of your times.
bnylons 1 year ago
@bnylons 4 tracks were before 8 tracks and cassetes smaller than an 8 track shaped like an 8 track clear plastic with a picture of the album cover pasted on they didnt catch on with the public [the first audio cassettes were experimental not available to the public the size of a beta max tape the player the size of a jukebox] a lot of resarch and developement to get a phone booth full of wires into something small same thing with synthesizers
