ELDERLY HIPPIES?

That's seriously the approach you want to take, Dems?

The closing song, “For What It’s Worth,” was written by Stephen Stills as a member of Buffalo Springfield — later of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young fame — in 1966 — 54 years ago — in response to Sunset Strip curfew riots; a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Strip in Hollywood, California.

The history of the song matters, of course, because the Democrat Party has not only backed the continuing unrest in the now 85 days since George Floyd’s death; they’ve all but donned cheerleader uniforms, grabbed the pom-poms, and joined the rioters in the streets.

Me, I would have gone with the Velvet Underground or something.

The similarities between the Democrat Party and The Episcopal Church are unsettling.

With a failing elderly candidate, one would think they'd not choose music performed before much of their voting base was born.

Problem is, I know what this crap is but who the hell else knows? And who the hell else would be impressed by this hippie crap?

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear....

This is a theme song for the Democratic convention?

There is something going down alright.

Meanwhile, in other late-breaking news, Biden has "won" the nomination.

Well, there's a surprise.
