Wrong thread Dreamgirl. This one is about gender equation and rocking chairs. I think.
I've taken a few glances here. Never quite figured out what it's about. My sense is it's about...
Well this for example. My wife and I have been watching an early 70's show called "The Streets of San Francisco". She's really taken by that show. I think I have a clue as to why that is...
Now I’m singing Going to San Francisco. Just need flowers and I’m off
LOL! Nice!
I saw Scott McKenzie play that song on campus at San Francisco State College about in 1969 or early 1970 years ago. Nice guy, fun song!
Also, I've been taking a look at subjects that didn't appeal to me in high school...was it just that I didn't pay attention or was I genuinely disinterested? Geography is more interesting to me now. The jury is still out on Chemistry.
I studied geography! Always loved it even though I didn’t really know what to do with it. Except for going hiking and collecting cool rocks. Seemed like a legitimate career to me

Well that's certainly a healthier way to use that knowledge than trying to own people on the Jeopardy phone app.

How cool is that?! What was the time like?
Oh man, those were crazy reactionary times.
Continuing the Scott McKenzie story... Scott played that song during an anti-Vietnam War rally on campus at San Francisco State in late 1969. After he finished the song, he started talking about the war and at one point, I suppose trying to mock those in favor of the war effort, said something like, "Yeah, we've gotta get over there and wipe out those damned stanty-eyed bastards." The rally had been set up and coordinated by a black activist group (it might have been the Black Panthers, but I don't remember for sure because there were other black groups at the time). So when Scott made that remarked, the stage was aggressively rushed by two or three very big guys from this black organization who looked like body guards. I thought McKenzie was going to get seriously hurt because they were on him in an instant. There was a lot of yelling and among all the ruckus I could hear McKenzie pleading, telling these guys he was joking, being ironic and he really was against the war and had no bias against southeast Asians. That must have a tough lesson for the singer about not using such terms even when joking. I felt badly for the guy. His intentions were meant to be supportive but he was hugely rattled. The whole vibe was ugly. The contrast of that innocent song about peace and love and the heavy, violent vibe on that stage was intense.
"Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth. And to hope."
