When I heard this song years ago, I became enlightened about why the Vietnam War was so wrong. I grew up thinking we were all supposed fight communism no matter where or why. Sound familiar?
Other bands made songs that showed us the way and were called 'Hippies' or 'Pot Heads' too. It's amazing what this 'Revolution' of ideas accomplished and how so many seem to have forgotten. Rock In Peace Andy Newman ... And you know it's right...

Real Courage...1967 Muhammad Ali refuses Army induction Muhammad Ali LINK On April 28, 1967, boxing champion Muhammad Ali refuses to be inducted into the U.S. Army and is immediately stripped of his heavyweight title. Ali, a Muslim, cited religious reasons for his decision to forgo military service.
On April 28, 1967, with the United States at war in Vietnam, Ali refused to be inducted into the armed forces, saying “I ain’t got no quarrel with those Vietcong.” On June 20, 1967, Ali was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison, fined $10,000 and banned from boxing for three years. He stayed out of prison as his case was appealed and returned to the ring on October 26, 1970, knocking out Jerry Quarry in Atlanta in the third round. On March 8, 1971, Ali fought Joe Frazier in the “Fight of the Century” and lost after 15 rounds, the first loss of his professional boxing career. On June 28 of that same year, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his conviction for evading the draft.
In 1967 he was treated like a TRAITOR by those who hated him. This took REAL COURAGE ! Rest in PEACE

Greg Lake, who fronted both King Crimson and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, has died aged 69. One of the founding fathers of progressive rock, the British musician is known for songs including In the Court of the Crimson King and I Believe in Father Christmas. He died on Wednesday after "a long and stubborn battle with cancer", said his manager.

When reading it, my heart skipped a beat, I could not believe it or I did not want to believe it, all the big ones are leaving us, I hope this year will end soon and we will touch wood. (Jim sorry for repeating the song, but it's one of my favorites!) Today I read something very beautiful, in Spanish, I'll put in Spanish and translated into English with google. El final de una era. Muere una época y todo un movimiento que se generó a mediados de los '60 y que tuvo su máximo exponente a mediados de los '70 con bandas como "Emerson, Lake & Palmer", "Yes", "King Crimson", "Jethro Tull", "Génesis", "Pink Floyd", etc.... Fue la cuna del Prog Rock, la Psicodelia, el Rock Sinfónico. Cada año que pasa se desprende una hoja de aquel árbol que alimentó a más de una generación. El sonido que se alejaba del standard comercial y que nos hacía soñar a muchos que buscábamos aquellas notas que se perdían en lo imposible. Las largas y complicadas composiciones, muchas veces sin estribillo, el virtuosismo instrumental, la formación clásica invadiendo el mundo del rock. En definitiva, la música imposible de catalogar. Todos ellos fueron grandes en su época, y si algunos hoy preguntan por qué sin salir en los medios de comunicación siguen vendiendo discos y arrastrando a una legión de seguidores, simplemente es porque fueron únicos, irrepetibles. Ni volveran ellos ni la generación que los escuchó. Pero revolucionaron el mundo del rock y asentaron las bases de muchos estilos que han venido después. Ayer fue un dia triste, y aunque la vida es un camino de un único sentido sin retorno, los que aún recordamos no olvidaremos que un día fuísteis lo más grande musicalmente hablando. ¡Larga vida al PROG! F.Sans The end of an era. An era and a movement that was generated in the middle of the '60s and that had its maximum exponent in the middle of the 70s with bands like "Emerson, Lake & Palmer", "Yes", "King Crimson", "Jethro" Tull "," Genesis "," Pink Floyd ", etc .... It was the cradle of Prog Rock, Psychedelia, Symphonic Rock. Every year that passes a leaf leaves that tree that fed more than a generation. The sound that moved away from the commercial standard and that made us dream of many who looked for those notes that were lost in the impossible. The long and complicated compositions, often without chorus, instrumental virtuosity, classical training invading the world of rock. In short, the music impossible to catalog. They were all great in their time, and if some today ask why without going out in the media they are still selling records and dragging a legion of followers, it is simply because they were unique, unrepeatable. Nor will they return nor the generation that heard them. But they revolutionized the world of rock and laid the foundations of many styles that have come later. Yesterday was a sad day, and although life is a path of a single meaning without return, those who still remember will not forget that one day you were the greatest musically speaking. Long live PROG! F.Sans

ELP >> That was a band that inspired me to just imagine what music could do, and I knew I'd never play instruments nearly as well as they did, so I forgot about that and just listened to imagine what music could do. When you listen to some of Aaron Copland's music that they arranged for themselves, you realize they were natural and untamed geniuses. Their own tunes went places that are miles and miles way down Imagination Highway.

Yup....ELP and YES really gave us so many glorious moments in basements that smelled like bongwater...a glimpse of a bigger, brighter world and our ears pricked up and taking it in.
