“My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now”
~ The Byrds, My Back Pages
This is a rather strange music video but it still a good song for listening to traveling around the back country.
This song is hilarious, even if it does have a very bleak message about highway carnage and some overtones about overthrowing the government and implementing socialism.
“To divide this cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it’s the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
“Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose”
– Strawberry Alarm Clock
