"Give a Damn" by Spanky and Our Gang

I just watched this clip where "Jon Stewart Takes Over Colbert's Late Show Desk":

I love the rant at the end and it is so true, the Right Wing Conservatives don't want any of us "sub-groups" to have a seat at the table.  They want to control everybody, they want everybody to act and think just the way they do.  Heaven forbid somebody should be different.

I've started going out in the back yard, putting a record on and laying in the sun for a few minutes.  It is so relaxing, the music, the sun on my skin, the wind rustling in the trees.  And I think a record is the perfect timer, when I turn the record over, I turn over.

Today I was playing "Spanky's Greatest Hits" and I still think it's still relevant.

I love the line "Come and see how despair is seasoned by the stifling air."

And there is a great sound bite towards the end (of the album version?):

"I think everybody's born equal, we all human beings.  So until I find somebody was born with their clothes on I don't figure they're no more than me."

Note: the lyric video doesn't have the actual song playing.
