    Dunno a thing about 'current songs.' All I listen to are Oldies stations, for 1950's through 60's music. Plus ballroom dance music!

    Lots of anti Vietnam music:
    Country Joe and the Fish "Whoopee, We're all Gonna Die",
    Peter, Paul and Mary: "Blowin' In the Wind" "Down by the Riverside (Ain't Gonna Study War No More)" and "If I Had a Hammer."
    Crosby Still and Nash, "Wooden Ships:

    And other songs of the time:
    Dion, "Abraham, Martin and John"
    Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Bad Moon Rising" (the election of Nixon, how did they know?!)

    Then there were all the songs on LDS and acid trips, plus all the environmental songs, with John Denver leading that movement.

    I can't think of any one in particular at the moment, other than "In the Ghetto", by Elvis. Of course all of the songs dealing with war, drugs, rebellion, etc, pretty much defines things today - unfortunately. Are there any songs about "twerking"????

    I don't really listen to much music of this day - I'm a child of the 60's 70's and 80's when there was so much folk music, and music that was actually music, and not some of this nonsense "street music" - chanting to the beat of the drum. AARRGGGHHHHH !!! Loved the Everly Brothers, Pat Boone (Goone as so many call him), Peter, Paul & Mary, Glen Campbell, Andy Williams, Roger Whittaker, John Denver, Moody Blues (even tho more "rock"), and so many more like those listed. I'm even so "square", that I LOVE Yanni.

    I was thinking about this during the day. And through all the upheaval of various times, love songs continue and are always part of the musical landscape.

    Oh yes indeed - very dreamy!

    And a couple of more recent singers that I love, are Josh Groban and Susan Boyle. I could listen to them all day!

    Tonight I went to a ballgame and and LDS choir sang "god bless America", and later "Thank god I'm a country boy by John Denver was played over the PA....Your post made me smile.

    I think you meant LSD?

    Thinking about the choir on LSD is pretty wild?
