Sounds like Dave Crosby. Since the year of this release, it was a reformation effort of the original band, and the last year all original members were still alive.

Christina, was bubbles42 or wovo ??? begged Ben's bloggers to listen to the song TROLLING for money because She DID not post this video just the song, no courage, we have to reveal history so people can know what the song is about and NOT some money making sexual consciousness game, from a distance.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." Goering at the Nuremberg TrialsThere is a plague of Evil on this world, fed by big money, and the media. Never trust lawyers, politicians, “yes men," or the parasites that feed from them, by their choice of vocation they have shown that their conscience can be bought.

Tu as raison chère Eileen, les choses ne sont pas toujours ce qu'elles semblent être. Merci pour ce message de tolérance et de fraternité, je pense que l'homme au plus profond de lui même est bon. Mon amitié t'accompagne pour cette semaine. Hugs.
