Now more than fifty years old, the anti-war anthems of the late Sixties and early Seventies remain some of my favorite songs. Calling attention to the social upheaval, civil injustice and political corruption of the Vietnam Era, they played an important role in the development of my personal philosophy.
I do not regularly listen to modern-day music but one hopes that some of it also decries a war: King Trump's war on our personal freedoms, our democracy and our Constitution. It will take the same level of energy, protest and activism to end this war.
I am regularly heartened when I hear my nostalgic college music at cafes and other establishments near campus. Their message still applies.
