That whole war damaged us all, whether there or herem, no matter who went or stayed, or went somewhere else, all who saw it or cared know...beating up journalists or kids is not only shameful cowardly pathetic bullying but also a microcosm of the whole Eisenhower warning

hey, what song is playing at the end of this song?? and who sings it?

[spookynorman]

@britt12what -- Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round is traditional civil rights era protest song but in this clip I think it is Phil Ochs singing it.

What might have transpired had Bobby Kennedy not been killed? If that "treacherous old ward-heeler" Humphrey had not been inflated, like a hot-air balloon into candidacy as Nixon's opponent? It's hard to imagine, after 40 years, that Sirhan was an independent operator.
