So many unique bands in those days, making a statement without being violent. And their point was made with an explanation point!

[@Asaman854]

Maybe the bands themselves weren’t violent, but the 60s were full of domestic terrorist and political violence.

[@davemathews7890]

Sure, like the Weathermen

[@domesticus-dk7tk]

complicated... times in Vietnam were violent under Johnson and hundreds of millions died. problem was how America disrepected returning soldiers doing their best and duties for us... Next album by JA was Volunteers. We are all outlaws in the eyes of America does not advocate sit downs nor peace with chaos and anarchy and being proud of it. They did say we can be together... tear down those walls. Distrust by the under 30's in a new generation that was gonna make everything better...hard to do at that age and crazy times. Marty Balin using profanity in a city full of people stopped the show early...sad
