You have to remember the times of the late 60s. Vietnam war protests, race riots in the streets across the entire nation, two assassinations in less than 4 months of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy at a campaign event in Los Angeles. (Brother of President John F. Kennedy also assassinated in 1963.) The 1960s were both wonderful, and scary as hell. There were many songs like this during that time, trying to appeal to everyone, to slow down, and love one another as God commands us to. Thanks

Probably the sweetest & purest of all hippie era anthems. Brings a tear to my eye. And speaking of Woodstock, you should react to both versions of the song, one by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young..one by Joni Mitchell who wrote it. Very different styles but both terrific. And yes, there was some chaos at Woodstock but just think...500,000 people, rain & mud, not enough food, all that for 3 days & not one fistfight, shooting or stabbing. A couple of babies born..people helping others through both good & bad trips. I wasn't there but I know the history. I had just turned 16 & my dad would've killed me if I'd tried to go being as it was several states away. In retrospect, I'd have risked being yelled at & gone anyway!💙☮💙

I lived 45 miles from San Francisco and was there every week end for the shows. Late '69 and early 70s things were fun and "Trip full" Then came the harder drugs which and took over the market for Pot and LSD, the dealers were mean and dangerous and the younger kids didn't understand. This is the time that the street started saying "Speed Kills" No more happy fun sunshiny days. This song was an inspiration for those of us that were looking for that world.

A turning point for me. I’m now 63 and still singing away! Funny how a simple act of kindness can affect someone for the rest of their life! This is such a beautiful song that has aged very well. What if everyone started their day hearing this? Keep up the good work you two! Much love! 😎🎶❤

We who belong to Him (and that's not all of us) have our marching orders; our assignment while we're here. Treat people the way you would like to be treated. Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were making His appeal through us. Warn them, encourage them, teach them, love them. Even though they will hate you because they hated Christ and crucified Him.

We moved to a different state, WV, when I was 10 & there were few people of color in the new place. I never even consciously noticed the difference until many years later when I was in college.

Unconditional love is the key that unlocks all the doors unconditional love is the cure to fear fear can't exist in the same space as unconditional love so it disappears and unconditional love wins the day. I really loved this song back in the '60s because it had such a powerful message and the people that got it and understood it where all the better for it the people that didn't weren't ready for the message yet although we're in a time now where this message can really resonate with a lot more people and it will in time.

I was at Woodstock and it was a combination of peaceful and chaotic. People were incredibly nice to each other. People went around collecting extra food for people who didn't bring enough, guys on Harleys went around collecting garbage and taking it to the dump, everyone was talking to each other and happy to see each other. It was chaotic because no one was in charge. There was no authority, no schedule, no rules. For those of us that grew up in a society with order, procedures, and a chain of command, this was intoxicating stuff. Unfortunately, it was not sustainable, but for three days we thought it might last and that we were changing the world. I guess we did in a sense because people are still trying to emulate that feeling today.

Timely and timeless classic by a beautiful soul. You're walking down the road of life and come to a fork in the road. Fear one way, Love the other. If you choose fear, then you will cake on all this temporary security, and wall yourself way from life by having built your own prison. In our short lives there should be no time for hate and fear, except to maybe hate the fearmongers, who are profiting off of the discomfort they foist upon others.

Acid vibes. The first time I dropped, was in 1986, a couple of months before my 16th birthday, backstage at a ‘The Exploited’ show. It was one of the craziest and best nights of my life. One of my best friends who was with me, also dropped for her first time. After the craziness of the night was over, she snuck me into her mom’s condo, where we hung out in her bedroom, and listened the album ‘Are You Experienced?’ by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, for hours and hours, until the sun came up. To say this was a life-changing experience for me, would be a monumental understatement.

Great song! You should also check out their psychedelic/folk-rock masterpiece "Darkness, Darkness" which features some cool violin that goes well with the distorted electric guitar and trippy/echoey vocals! 😎 Jesse Colin Young said he wrote it while thinking about the horror that his friends and other soldiers must have felt while waiting to fall asleep at night during the Vietnam War. "Darkness, Darkness be my pillow. Take my hand and let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow, in the silence of your deep."

The love and peace vibe prevailed for a time back in the day. It was very cool, by consensus violence was simply not an option in any situation. But the love/peace "better angels of our nature" have to be grounded in something transcendent, not just a bunch of kids deciding it's cool. So you had Woodstock on the one hand and Altamont on the other when fear, territoriality, and aggression reasserted themselves. Human beings are all of the above

The Beatles wrote a song called "revolution" which spoke of making changes but in peaceful manner without destroying society. Chicago had a "fill song on their second album called "Where do we go from here". many other examples from this time period in music 60's-70's.

This is a much-loved song from the hippie era. Although the Youngbloods originated in New York, they migrated to California in the late 60s. Their song “(I’m Proud to Be a) Hippie from Olema” (1970) refers to a little town on the San Andreas Fault Zone, just SE of Tomales Bay, N of San Francisco. That song was a good-humored answer to Merle Haggard’s “Okie from Muskogee.”

Immediately takes me back to 1967...hanging out at the Strip...love-ins at Griffith Park, driving up to Haight-Asbury...if you weren't there...no matter how muchyou read about it and listen to the music...you'll never know.

There's an interesting story for this song. It was originally recorded by The Kingston Trio in 1964 as "Let's Get Together." The Youngbloods released their cover version as Get Together in 1967 and it failed to reach The Top 60 of The Billboard Hot 100. In 1969, it was used in a PSA and became so popular that RCA re-released it and it soared to #5 Hot 100.

The message is all of us. Bring together the people with this mindset and then begin to work on the people who mind not agree. Lex, as usual your keen insight and understanding has unlocked the door. Just like this song.

This song needs to play right now. The turmoil in our country and colleges. It breaks my heart to see what is going on. This song came out during the Vietnam War. My husband went to war right out of high school due to the draft. He didn't want to go but had no other choice due to the draft. I admire him, and I 'm so glad he came home safe. I lost a lot of male classmates to this war. 😪🇺🇸

Its pretty simple song ""love your brothers and sisters"" the one who left us here ,will surely return, "Jesus Christ Return" I remember when this song came out times was volatile. War and murder of our leaders. Had the KKK and Russia threatening to nuke us daily. CIA doing underhanded stuff. Will guess not much has changed 😥

Surely there's room for music about the best in us and what we can aim for, as well as music filled with the the details of the debauched state in which we find ourselves. In the end you both got the essentials of this song. And, acting in love instead of fear is a weapon against manipulation. A loving approach doesn't make you stupid or naive necessarily. It can change an entire culture though, and turn destructive impulses into growth and progress. Being fear-less is the only "real" human freedom as well. It's the only chance we got. The opposite of love is fear. What you fear you hate, and hate provokes humans to irrationality.

One of the most beautiful voices ever in popular music singing one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It thrills me the same way it did when I was a little, naive, fourteen year old wanna be hippie chick in 1967. Sadly, no one who didn't live through the times when this song was new could never really understand its spirit and meaning which is far more complex than just a hippie anthem. Still, I'm glad these kids played it and seemed to enjoy it.
