[@buffstraw2969]

Same here, Roe! Except I graduated hs in 1974. But this song really seemed to sum up the 60s vibe. Wish more people today could tune into this wavelength, so to speak. I love that this young man is seeking it out.

For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield (including a young Stephen Stills and Neil Young. A great 60s anthem!!

Great suggestion...play the extended version.

Another song I would really like to see someone react to is "Sky Pilot" by the Animals. The long version, since it has the most profound message in the 2nd act.

[@t.j.payeur5331]

Young hearts can go their way!

[@dinodasbunce6224]

I have to say that I never cared for this song. I don't know why. The lyrics are great, the beat is consistent and the instrumentation is good. Maybe it's Pops Chambers' voice, not a bad voice, it just rubs me the wrong way or something. Let me be clear, this is just my opinion and I do not suggest, in any way, that it is shared by anyone else.

[@cindycindy2894]

Perhaps it's time to change our national anthem. Trade in "and the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" for " everybody get together, try to love one another right now."

[@ArtamStudio]

We have learned nothing in 50+ years. :(

[@sallymcmanus9198]

A song to transcend generations. The Flower children 🌹 from the Hippie age, peaceful protesters & sit in demonstrations against the Vietnam War. Us kids were scared, with the draft in place many guys I knew were at risk to be sent after we graduated when all we wanted & prayed for was peace ☮️ ✌️not senseless fighting. Hell, they didn’t refer to Vietnam as a war, it was a “conflict”. There were none of those guys that didn’t come back changed in some way. I’m not meaning to be a “Debbie downer” it’s just even though I love these songs they do take me back in time.

[@justinestes6400]

This song is playing during my favorite scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when Hunter S. Thompson is remembering the rise and fall of the peace movement in the 60's and 70's. It is both beautiful and hauntingly sad. What could have been.

[@musemoon]

Fun Fact: Get Together or Let's Get Together has been covered over 16 times by people like David Crosby, Jefferson Airplane, H. P. Lovecraft, The Dave Clark Five and The Carpenters.

[@mnob1122]

Yes, similar but I see more hate today, perpetuated by many factors...internet, propaganda presented as news, leadership vastly different from the 60’s, more isolated culture. Very sad. This song reminded me of how we had hope and positivity. Peace & love ✌🏻

[@CB-gr1uk]

One of the best songs ever!

[@freckled100]

The lead singer is Jesse Colin Young. I've always loved the message of this song. It's been covered by many, but in my opinion this is the best one.

[@michaelloveland1330]

This should be our National Anthem.

[@ArniePorter]

Jesse Collin Young has such a beautiful voice and this was a 60’s Anthem for a lot of young people back then. I saw him in 1974 when he played on his own. I didn’t realize until recently that he sang this song. I had known the Youngbloods but didn’t connect him to them. Love this song.

The Youngbloods featured the vocals of Jesse Colin Young, who went on to a huge solo career. Two other great Youngbloods songs are Darkness Darkness and Sunlight. Much in the same vein as Get Together, Jesse Colin Young's song The Peace Song is absolutely amazing, Jesse on acoustic guitar with minimal back up.

[@larrywt656]

I loved the cool vibe sound of this song when I was a kid, but I was too young to grasp what the lyrics said. I remember hearing it again a few years later when I was in college, and that's when I finally realized how truly powerful the song was. The late 60s had a lot of amazing philosophical songs that still ring true to this day.
