Tuesday, November 2, 2010: Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth



November 2nd. Election Day in America.

No TWOfer today, no need to turn this day into a gimmick.

For weeks I've turned this election day song over and over again in my head, so many choices.

But I just kept coming back to this, in my opinion one of the most powerful songs written in the 20th century.

And as relevant today as it was when it was written.

For whatever country you are in, for these are strange, powerful times we live in now

And paranoia is striking deeper than ever.

Let's take this day to stop, children, what's that sound? Everyone look what's going down.

And, just maybe, if you can, go into the voting booth and do something about it.

Because, truth is, if you don't vote, you abdicate your right to complain.

For what it's worth.
