Today, I suppose there are similar songs (or rap thingies) going on - but who, other than a fringe minority, knows of them? <br /><br />The anger and frustration in Barry McGuire's voice is what we ought to be hearing now, from a present day artist, singing a similar song - or even this one with updated lyrics.<br /><br />Maybe it wasn't really "a voice" Sloan heard, but simply his intuition giving him a nudge. <br /><br />Sloan's Wiki page tells us also that:<br /><br /><i>Due to its line "You're old enough to kill, but not for votin'", "Eve of Destruction" was used as a rallying cry by supporters of the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which changed the voting age from 21 to 18 as of 1971</i><br /><br /> <br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-10273338047452356382014-09-29T11:34:11.597-05:002014-09-29T11:34:11.597-05:00Jefferson's Guardian ~ The day could be dawnin...Jefferson's Guardian ~ The day could be dawning, yes, I agree.

Why, it seems like ...A walk down memory lane here. Why, it seems like only yesterday that I heard "Eve of Destruction" and so many others from that period. I looked at the top 100 from 1964 and 1965 just now and it's a very diverse listing of mental memorabilia. The beatnik was transitioning to hippie, Bealtemania was sprouting, assassination, Cuban missile crisis and the Vietnam War made the cold war a potential nuclear hot war.<br /><br />Interesting how Sloan describes the inner voice without acknowledging schizophrenia! My mother suffered with schizophrenia and "the voice(s)" were never doubted or viewed as peculiar. She thought she had a special gift...LOL. Interesting too, how so many religious leaders have professed to receiving special communication from gods or angels only heard by them. Often the case with murderers, too.<br /><br />As you indicate, his Moon stands out, particularly as the handle of a tight bucket. Beside the probable aspect to Uranus, there may be an inconjunct or yod with the Cancer-Virgo planets. The Moon as the bucket handle would have placed considerable emphasis on his emotional status, and the Moon in Aquarius is inconjunct by sign as ruler of his Cancer planets.mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-35491111802426513672014-09-29T09:55:11.411-05:002014-09-29T09:55:11.411-05:00If Barry McGuire sang prophetically of an "ev...If Barry McGuire sang prophetically of an "eve" of an impeding day, could not the day be upon us? Time is relative, after all. <br /><br />I continually ask myself, what <i>is</i> it going to take to get our "act together"? What, <i>exactly</i>, will the tipping point be where the majority see what's going on? Has this "slow-motion" coup d'etat anesthetized us to the danger and peril we face? <br /><br />Only a collective consciousness will prevail.Jefferson's Guardianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950868026721859555noreply@blogger.com
