    This is subtle, but definitely is a  protest.

    Another song to which I've not paid close attention but always like hearing it.

    The words still ring true. And the organ solos are epic...with all the dischordance representing the prevailing situations.

    Nice! Again!  - I listened to it again and enjoyed. Words are rather timeless, yes.

    I've always liked that album cover, too. I don't own the album but I've seen that picture before.

    “What’s Going On?” by Marvin Gaye, 1971.





    Mother, mother
    There's too many of you crying
    Brother, brother, brother
    There's far too many of you dying
    You know we've got to find a way
    To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
     
    Father, father
    We don't need to escalate
    You see, war is not the answer
    For only love can conquer hate
    You know we've got to find a way
    To bring some lovin' here today
     
    Picket lines and picket signs
    Don't punish me with brutality
    Talk to me, so you can see
    Oh, what's going on
    What's going on
    Ya, what's going on
    Ah, what's going on
     
    In the mean time
    Right on, baby
    Right on
    Right on
     
    Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
    Oh, but who are they to judge us
    Simply because our hair is long
    Oh, you know we've got to find a way
    To bring some understanding here today
    Oh
     
    Picket lines and picket signs
    Don't punish me with brutality
    Talk to me
    So you can see
    What's going on
    Ya, what's going on
    Tell me what's going on
    I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
    Right on baby
    Right on baby

    I love that guy.

    I am joyous every time I send something in the mail because I buy his stamps every time.
    :)

    EDIT: I listened to the song again. I like his voice, along with a great song.

    "What's Up"    4 Non Blondes

    I'm going to yell now - - I LOVE THIS SONG!!  :)

    For years, I thought this was a song from the 1960's/ It's from 1992.

    I've never heard of JJ Cale! Haven't heard this song before, either - - but I really like it!! I loved that short piano solo in there, too. And what a HANDSOME guy!! :)

    I'm such an idiot sometimes -- I saw the video here and only noticed it said "From the Inside." I randomly clicked on a spot in the middle of the song and started listening, and I then thought, "Boy, this group 'From the Inside' sounds like Linkin Park."

    Time to call it a day for me. :)
