Merry Christmas

It was 1968.
The streets of European capitals were in an uproar.
Everyone hated Americans - because of US involvement in Vietnam's attempts at self determination.
(assumed by cynics like me to really be over protecting US investments in ASMERA Oil)

So, this song was well timed.
Yeah, the original group did this in 1967 in Germany but there was no play time until 1968!
Unfortunately, I was in Paris for the riots.
And though I was perplexed over the lyrics in 1968.
I remembered and worked through the meanings ....

It may seem odd to play this on Christmas, but what better time to stop and think .....
