Description: Hunter S. Thompson quote: Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser. I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that my instincts were right. I shared a vagrant optimism that some of us were making real progress, that we had taken an honest road, and that the best of us would inevitably make it over the top. At the same time, I shared a dark suspicion that the life we were leading was a lost cause, that we were all actors, kidding ourselves along on a senseless odyssey. It was the tension between these two poles — a restless idealism on one hand and a sense of impending doom on the other — that kept me going.
Description: Barry McGuire sang it in 1965 and unfortunately the premise has aged like fine wine. "The Eastern world it is explodin'" — written as a Cold War protest song, it turned out to be more of a running commentary than a historical moment. A relentlessly pessimistic anthem that somehow keeps finding new material. For fans of classic protest music, dark 60s nostalgia, political pessimists, and everyone who appreciates a song that was supposed to be a warning but became a lifestyle.
