[thedaybegin]

rocknroll is 60 years old , but is still speaking in times

[jayhackworth]

The New Dumb - is why Amerikwa is doomed, i'm not sure if there are enough sane people left to pull us through

[VansBoarder20]

"Not all revolutions have to be violent" - Grace Slick

[CMloveify]

@VansBoarder20 Completely true =)

[VansBoarder20]

@CMloveify I just wanna start up this forgotten movement again. It's possible

[CMloveify]

@VansBoarder20 Let's do it

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

this song should be longer

[lyonslaforet]

@KIDAmnesiacBends I thought about it the last time I listened to this little gem.

[daljinac2]

fucking hiipies and junks



[chrismarella1]

@daljinac2 fuck u... dont hate on hippies all they did was have a good time and if u dont understand that then go fuck ure self

[Dearhunter43]

Revolution for Peace!

[meshipeace11]

Occupy Buffalo!~ =)

[grandmachristine42]

At that time we were maybe 1% of the population. Good music, good dope, good idea, better ways, but we were isolated. See newspaper articles the day after Kent State to see what the country thought of us. MLK was the only man-in-a-suit that didn't want us killed. Now 3 generations later my how it's grown. These times are better.

[svivcaus]

occupy LA

[popeye98765]

This is one of he first albums I ever bought. Growing up in the 80s they were before my time but I had the fortune of seeing them perform as the airplane in 89 at Great woods

[ac1dchr15t]

This song automatically makes it feel like "the times" are here again.

[pyrophore]

One generation got old One generation got SOLD. This generation got no destination to hold. PICK UP THE CRY!

[t110722]

Occupy

[Nassault630]

Occupy SF!

[charvesa]

relevant to Wall Street - late September, 2011

[johnbonham1986]

growin up in the 90s was fckin cool as well,I was fckin stoned every fckin day of my life from about 99 `till now.And we are still alive,we are the same as you lucky fckers that grew up in the 60`s and 70s except,90 percent of the music is SHIT!!!And what do we get-our favorite bands are all gone,most of them,and our idols are dead.I will never see Morrison and Hendrix,Bonham and Kobain.

[KristsGackisTv]

awesome

[YalkOne]

volunteering to bum rush the capital

[nohatjavy]

I was ateen at that time. That song is what it was like then. Lots of acid. Life was good

[deathgreeb101]

@nohatjavy shut up man you're making me jealous :P god damn growing up in the nineties :(

[xxChris51497xx]

Homefront is amazing as well as this song that fits it's trailer.

[LinkFan4199]

YEA HOMEFRONT ! The song fits game and trailer well

[GSPatton89]

@Awkwardturtle4 Same here

[soopercali]

Look what's happening out in the street... oligarchs, look out, we're coming for you!

[azothdaco]

the revolution is ongoing....

[dhilberg]

bauar06 - No you don't.

[LennonMoonPlant]

@dhilberg Well I wasn't around either, but I'm sure it was bad. But look where we are now. Things were wild, sure, but there was true freedom back then. Now the government thinks they can control every little part of our lives. What I'm afraid of is that my kids won't know the joys of freedom. Back then, people cared. Now we're all floating through life letting what happens happen. Look at it. Do we REALLY get out there and try to change our world? I'd really like to see it in person.

[TRealSTA]

@LennonMoonPlant  Wisconsin! Tahrir!

[FredZinga]

1 person will be destroyed by a REVOLUTION

[RetroKimmie]

AMAZING>>>A MUST Road Trip Song!!!

[celebrant9]

"Who will take it from here, we will and who are we

We are volunteers of Amerika"

Love Marty's vocals here.

[todd291022]

Look what's happnin' on the street...

[ApollonAcheus]

Every little song of jefferson would be so incridible if grace slick would sing it, she has a better voice than anyone else in this group.

[pq02lamzo]

No talent? This is one of the most talented bands of all time. The amount of talent among this group is ridiculous.

[stevevandien]

@pq02lamzo Have lately been listening to the Airplane again after many years, and I agree with you. Their place in rock history is secure:) --

[pq02lamzo]

@stevevandien, I've actually started to listen to some of their stuff after Crown of Creation. It seems like they made 2 stratospherically great albums (Crown of Creation and Baxter's). Beyond those 2 I can see why they're not considered one of the greats. They are very talented and put out other good albums, Volunteers being one of them. But the rest were not draw dropping.

[stevevandien]

@pq02lamzo I know what you mean, and I agree. The Airplane reached its highest heights between the first album ("The Jefferson Airplane Takes Off") and the sixth ("Volunteers"). Don't think they could have achieved more with this particular lineup AT that particular time.

[bieberfanatic123]

Yo Des fags got no talent

[BiPopular]

@REDtwotwotwo obvious troll is obvious ?_? dont even waste your energy

[nirvanawishiwas96]

@REDtwotwotwo man me and you gots to join forces this bieber person has been to the videos of all our great music and is spreading hate. we gootta bring a revoloution, VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA!

[REDtwotwotwo]

@nirvanawishiwas96 alright i dont really hate any mainstream artists but i do not like them its just they dont compare...they will all fade away at some point.

[nirvanawishiwas96]

@REDtwotwotwo its because music was a form of expression,poetry,art. now its just a franchising trend.

[REDtwotwotwo]

@nirvanawishiwas96 that a good way to put it...

[nirvanawishiwas96]

@REDtwotwotwo yeah, being a hippy comes in handy at times.

[berky1]

@nirvanawishiwas96 Said that right!

[nirvanawishiwas96]

@berky1 totaly, all the lyrics from the 60's made sense, said, something, made a point, now every r&b song talks about having sex and nice cars. what happened to oogum boogum? the wind cries mary? so long marrianne? for god sakes, across the universe still makes me think about life and how mine can change one day, drastically for the better.

[PovuciMeZaKurac]

3 days of peace love and music :)))))))))

PEACE

[toaseman]

this is great song first time i heard it was one morrning on planet rock

[go339go]

Way to short!!!!!!!!

[TheRocker425]

WOODSTOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HaileysYaYa28]

SING IT GRACE!!!! The 60's n 70's were great! What we need NOW is a revolution before we loose the freedom TO revolt!!! Rock on!

[skipdafer]

@HaileysYaYa28 I think that's what needs to happen

[bucknorm]

it's time to get pissed!!

[marc25052005]

got a revolution!

[54taqiyya]

ironic

[Fertermar]

NO ONE disliked this song yet. Truly amazing!

[jonno52]

I was so lucky to be around 20 when this stuff came out. We really thought, or some did, that there was gonna be a revolution, anything seemed possible. Now there''s just jobs (if you're 'lucky') and taxes.

"..You can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back". ("Fear and Loathing", Hunter S Thompson).

[PeaceFrogMan1]

this song reminds me of Forrest Gump. i got this album too. its jefferson's best.

[Exilemainstreet]

I'm angry I missed the 60s and 70s.

[newaccountdebzbd]

@Exilemainstreet Missed it? You're right on time for the best of it.

[Exilemainstreet]

@newaccountdebzbd I know, things seem crazy now. Interesting times, that's for sure.

[slpplexi1969]

@newaccountdebzbd How? We'll never be able to see The Beatles, Jefferson Airlplane, Jimi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones with Brian Jones, The Grateful Dead, Cream, The 13th Floor Elevators, CCR...we can only watch youtube videos of it.

[newaccountdebzbd]

@slpplexi1969 Here's an idea: stop watching, start doing. Get off your ass and out of the house and start making the world you want. That's what we did. We could have all stayed inside and watched American Bandstand, but we didn't. Believe it or not, there are musicians around today who have the potential talent of those you've listed. But they need to be sought out and they need your support. Join Occupy, support live music, be a freak.

[slpplexi1969]

@newaccountdebzbd I've actually been the guitarist/bassist in a band that plays 60s style psychedelic, garage, British invasion, and blues for or over a year. I was also the Paul McCartney in a Beatles tribute band for a short time, and I played guitar in a 70s style rock band before that. You assume too much.

[newaccountdebzbd]

@slpplexi1969 Well, here's something almost unprecedented on YT: I apologize. I believe you, and I respect such talent and ability. But I was referring to political activity. Although you may beat it at that, as well.

[slpplexi1969]

@newaccountdebzbd There's not really any political stuff I can do for a few years until I'm 18.

[newaccountdebzbd]

@slpplexi1969 Forget politics, kid. Learn to be more gracious about accepting an apology. And get back to your homework. 

[Tull29]

@newaccountdebzbd -and so it goes on, age 50 here and in between politically and age wise but the belief and passion put into the music of the time is something that will not be forgotten. A changing era in many ways! I was just a kid but it was the music that I grew up with and also the music that I keep coming back to!

Just a passing comment and nothing more.

[squalorholla]

@Exilemainstreet Guess what? They're back!

[Django5198]

There is something so feelgood and upbeat about 60s rock! Lovin it!

[keo774]

GOT A REVOLUTION, GUYS

[3set4life]

I actually liked that better than the Woodstock version

[dantecat66]

8900 views? What's the deal..? This is the best!

[Bluebarb1]

Anyone waking up? Copenhagen treaty/agreement? Ukraine situation?

[cxmafia]

@Bluebarb1

Oh yeah Bluebarb. I can only hope for a REVOLUTION - It seems, Bshism/Facism is still to be fought

[waIIflower]

I was born in the wrong decade... damn the 90's.

[psychedelicbird]

you're not the only one

[SkopTeocratico]

Fantastic himn...

[eggflipsupreme]

epitomised the alternative youth of that time

[bauar06]

GREAT SONG

wish i lived in that time

[007jas]

@bauar06

I was there. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. Hippie girls, incense, bell bottoms, anti-war rallies, etc.

[koreakutie]

@bauar06 if you did, you wouldn't remember a thing.

[54taqiyya]

@koreakutie funny!

[xoxodabratxoxo]

@bauar06 that's exactly what i say everyday! lol i definatly don't belong in this time, i belong in the 60s & 70s!

[hieronomy]

@bauar06

Don't worry there are plenty of opportunities to stand for something rather than fall for anything , as John Lennon once said .

[TRealSTA]

@bauar06 You Do! The time is NOW!

[KIDRED56]

@bauar06 and thirty years from now they will say i wish i lived back then.....

[MarkTools]

@bauar06 wish i lived that time if they don't send me in the fuckin viet jungle.

[mcul2112]

@bauar06 i hear you, but either they or their pals were killing and/or getting killed in Vietnam. not a good time....

[bilashkani]

Kinda funny how all the kids just went home after
