I find an extra bit of humor in this song. Back in the day, several of my friends in school considered this to be their personal protest songโfor everything. They tended to get quite loud and animated when it was playing. I always liked it. But, not being as contrary about some things, I never thought of it as my mission. I never read or heard anything about what Jonathan Edwards had in mind when he sang the song. But, the war and the draft always came to mind for me. Just this one song added so much to what was going on back then, IMOโthe war, hippies, drugs, sit ins. You name it. To me, it's like calling Classical Gas by Mason Williams a one-hit wonder. One was all it took.
This great song has flooded my mind over the years as I cross paths with many this song can apply toโฆyou canโt even run your own life, Iโll be damned if youโll run mine! Brilliant.
Barry Richards tv show was almost certainly in the DC market. Well, maybe by '73 it WAS Baltimore. But he was a major force as top 40, then white soul, and finally early hippie dj and concert promoter in the DC market.
