1. but the lyric is wrong...

Its "the man come and take you away" ...and that is the point: its The Man. It was The Man then, and its The Man now again, still. TPTB, attempting to maintain and consolidate their power over us all.
I'd love this if that were corrected, but I do like it anyway. Very appropriate. Sad that a nearly 45-50 (?) year old song is so relevant.

6. Thank you. nt

[merrily]

10. +1

[calimary]

15. Yeah. Truly. It's STILL relevant.

22. It's gotta be "The Man"

or the song loses some of it's punch.

12. ...

What a field day for the "heat"

(aka law enforcement gun happy dance.)

A thousand people in the street.

...

Everybody look whats going down.

PASSIVE RESISTANCE.

Love, Peace and the Righteous Fight.
I love you, Uncle Joe.

A warning for today.

18. Anonymous did a version of this song for the Turkish fighting their police bullshit in Taksim Square

Kind of fits so many places now with the global fascism takeover going on...

[Uncle Joe]

19. That was a good version, cascadiance. n/t

21. It's remarkable (and sad)

how relevant that song still is. I sure hoped things would get better back in those days, but, alas...

5. Imo, this picture needs correction.

The truth is lost because the quote is inaccurate.
But maybe the creators of the meme want to avoid copyright law.
At any rate I cannot endorse its use.

Sorry.

Love you, sheshe2.

11. Another one - the folksong masterpiece made famous by Pete Seeger

The song in earlier form probably had origins in slave era spirituals ("No more auction block for me" is earliest recorded melody of this song with different words) but Pete Seeger first made it popular.

17. ^^^^This^^^^

20. We sing this when we march Moral Monday Marches. eom

[lastlib]

16. "Battle lines bein' drawn..."

"Young people speakin' their minds,
Gettin' so much resistance from behind....

What a field-day for the heat,
A thousand people in the street,
Singin' songs, and a-carryin' signs
Mostly say hooray for our side....

It's time we STOP!, hey,
What's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down."

Yesterday was David Crosby's birthday. (He later joined Stephen Stills to form CSNY).
