      Looks like your wish was granted. It really fits for the modern day/Joe Biden too.

      The fact that he's sending 100 soldiers to Israel now makes me think he really wanted that second chance in 2024, he's a true democrat💀💀💀

    May I also suggest "Le Déserteur" by great French writer Boris Vian(who has other songs that deserve a look). Joan Baez has sung it in French. I heard that the Chad Mitchell Trio did it in English, but have not found it. The popular French singer Mouloudji risked his career in recording it in the 50's. It was banned from French radio but became popular nonetheless.

    The vocal & the instrumental are quite good & the song itself deserves to be archived as historically significant (regardless of one's exact partisan position on US engagement in Vietnam).
