I really like the videos of when he was in the prime of his career. He and a few of his fellow writer/performers had so much soul and maturity at a very young age. The 60's were such a rich period of musical creativity and social commentary.

So we move on. Dont you agree its one of the best song of the generation of the Baby boomers. Like a good movie if you talk about it after seeing it than thats a good movie. We're still talking about a song for written over 30years ago. Wow I hope this guy is living the good life Great song. bye you all

danlong - I was replying to the guy who said the song is about the demise of the white race - I agree with you, how could anyone listen to this song and come away thinking it is about RACE???

Where do you find in the song anything about racism? your sentence about uned.,poor and lazy white people reaked of racism. Didnt vote for him , I throw my vote away on Nader. we are a generation lost. I pray the feeling of losing will miss this generation with the election of B.Obarma.the skies the limit watch out! Eight miles high and falling fast really hurt.
