Incidentally, Okie from Muskogee is also a political song, but not really my kind of music. |

How is it possible that nobody has mentioned anything by either Bob Dylan or Joan Baez? I'll go ahead and nominate A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall.

Most of you are not old enough to recall this one, i would guess, but how about the Ballad of the Green Beret?
"Silver Wings, on my son's chest Make him one of America's best . . ." and so forth. Pretty cheesy and stridently pro-war in the midst of anti-war America.

I love it anyway. Great music. It also perfectly captures an era in our country's history. Especially when juxtaposed with Southern Man and Alabama by Young. As long as we're quoting lyrics, here's Okie from Muskogee. The lines forever crack me up. Quote:
