8. 666 Countdown to Armageddon
I hope not,but here's a good song for it.Things don't change and we don't learn from history.This song was written by a 19 year old around 1964.I took the liberty of changing a couple of words.. "Think of all the hate there is in Red China then take a look around to Selma Alabama.

And marches alone cannot bring integration when human respect is disintegrating"

are about racial un-harmony issues.

"Hate your next door neighbor and don't forget to say grace",

simple hypocrisy but it made me feel angry.

"You're old enough to kill but not for drinkin"

was about the injustice of using youth in the army to defend the country but they had no say in its policies. More hypocrisy!

"You don't believe in war so what's that Bible you're toting!"

Okay!

"The pounding of the drums the pride and disgrace"

were written in relationship to the powerful Kennedy assassination.

I finished the poem and went into my parents bedroom. My mother was awake and I told her I had written something wonderful. She said, "Shhh, you'll wake your dad." I put a melody to the words and played it for my then writing partner Steve. He listened but I could tell he didn't like it much. He wasn't much interested. The same response followed when I played it for the publishing company people. Their response was stronger. UNPUBLISHABLE! I was told not to write any more songs like that. ‘Sung by Barry McGuire http://www.brownielocks.com/eveofdestruction.html

11. NO.. I wish I had his talent!.P. F. Sloan : In His Own Words
ha ha ha.. Sorry, I should have gave this link. I wish someone would rewrite the song or get in touch with P.F.sloan.He was a real poet.Here's his story; P. F. Sloan : In His Own Words; http://www2.gol.com/users/davidr/sloan/aboutsongs.html
The song "Eve of Destruction" was written in the early morning hours between midnight and dawn in mid-1964. The song was one of five that were written that evening Three of the five became notable for some reason. The other two were "The Sins of A Family (Fall On The Daughter)", and "Take Me For What I'm Worth", recorded by The Searchers." "I was 19 years old. The most outstanding experience I had in writing this song was hearing an inner voice inside of myself for only the second time. It seemed to have information no one else could've had. For example, I was writing down this line in pencil "think of all the hate there is in Red Russia." This inner voice said "No, no it's Red China!" I began to argue and wrestle with that until near exhaustion. I thought Red Russia was the most outstanding enemy to freedom in the world, but this inner voice said the Soviet Union will fall before the end of the century and Red China will endure in crimes against humanity well into the new century! This inner voice that is inside of each and every one of us but is drowned out by the roar of our minds! The song contained a number of issues that were unbearable for me at the time. I wrote it as a prayer to God for an answer."

10. But not everywhere.
Europeans and perhaps others put the day before the month. So, the same even will occur in those nations on the fourth of May.
