60 years ago, Stephen Stills wrote a little song about confrontation with ‘the authorities’ on the strip in LA. I’ve noticed it cropping up a lot as background to shared videos.

There’s something happening here

… no shit Dick Tracy

What it is ain’t exactly clear

… it is if you are paying attention

There’s a man with a gun over there

… men .. and way more than guns

Telling me I’ve got to beware

… no ~ telling me to ‘lie to comply’

It’s a great song and a superb battle cry for the masses .. but ‘26 is no ‘66.

@JohnPhilpin It’s a great song and appropriate for our times.

@bradenslen taking of which

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
