I got to get out of 2013 music really sucks

[RYAN BRUCE]

woke up with this song stuck in my head had to listen to it

[SuperNewf1]

This song is timeless. It is about the plight of the working man slaving to the bone for peanuts. Lost opportunities or no opportunities at all. Like all young people at some point they rebel, want something more, something better. We all do.

[SuperNewf1]

Well said. This song speaks to all of us who feel no hope, no future, feeling trapped, and not able to realize our full potential also. Like billions of us now.

[SuperNewf1]

Yeah. It's a working mans song.



[Liam Gaule]

Newcastle, is where they came from, Eric Burden lead singer went to U.S.A.

[Mary Laureano]

where did this band originate from?  I love this era!

[Frankie Friday]

Lol! I'm a fan of Nam movies too. Thank our lucky stars NOT to have been there. XO TO ALL WHO WERE THERE.

[S2Cents]

Back in Nam I remember smoking refer with Danforth, Hastings and the rest of the gang through a . I can't do this, I wasn't in Nam. I've seen like 20 Vietnam War movies with similar scenes, they haunt me man, those movies. Never Forget.

[Stavo V]

It had a double meaning to us in Vietnam......especially during TET of 68, on this no name hill, the NVA would dump mortars, rockets and everything else they could on us. Of all things, when their incoming started coming in, someone had rigged up the hills PA system with this song, playing a 45 record into the system. Strange times then....that is how I will always remember that music. Other than that....you be so right.

[Judy Scott]

I'll never forget the album of the Animals...my older brother bought all the good ones...I was just a teeny-bopper, but oh, loved these songs....forever!
